Beautiful publication
THE FRENCH LINE PRESENTS THE NORMANDIE THE LATEST CREATIVE OF FRANCE
The Art Deco design is over the top! Not all pages were photographed since I can only upload 12 but the publication is complete.
CONDITION: I would say overall it is in very good vintage condition.The cover has a felt feel to it and it is dark blue. Some creasing to corners, a couple creases here and there inside but nothing detracts from this over the top publication. And the desc...riptions ... wow.
Slippered feet and the rustle of silken gowns will make illustrious this Grand Staircase which pass an imperious path from he Smoking Room to the Cafe Grill. At its crest a bronze figure symbolizing Normandy.The sunlight floods in upon bridge tables and the formality of afternoon tea...the laughter of an after dinner cordial or the chic whispers of a tete a tete.There is more than a hint of the Paris Opera ... of your favorite Broadway theatre and of all Continental play-places in the entrance to the Normandie's pretty Theatre.Vista of the sea through panels of glass...exotic plants, kept garden fresh ... wicker chairs flooded with sunshine. A modernistic cage filled with brilliantly-plumaged birds ... white, yellow, carmine, tumultuous with life and song.Children's Playroom - An orchestra in miniature, with child size seats ... a stage, and daily dramas as only the French know how to interpret Punch and Judy ... decorations to kindle child imaginations with fanciful dreams of fairyland, a playroom, where games and sports of every type are available.More than a mere "Beauty Parlor" ... more than the conventional "Barber Shop", Individual rooms for MiLady, fastidious enough for a Marie Antoinette...glass chalices for rare perfumes and cosmetics.
