LEGRAS - Michel, Marie-Franoise & Jean-Françis Michel & Nelly Fouchet *=& Dominique & Jean Vitrat, et al: — Legras Verrier.

Paris 2002, (21,5 x 28,5) 270 pp. French text, 1540 colour ills., clothbound and dustjacket. The catalogue raisonné devoted to Master Glassmaker François-Théodore Legrag and his industrial epic from 1866 to the 1930s. From Claudon to Hennezel, from Pantin to Saint-Denis, from Ploiesti to Leipzig, Legras is here tracked down, listed, magnified by a historian, a collectors couple and a photographer. This selection of identified works (756 items in the current state of knowledge) coming from private collections and from the Hennezel-Clairey Museum, is a solid clarification definitively chasing away clichés and errors, a useful directory for collectors, and a Bible salutary for lovers of glass and history. With 1540 unprecedented archives and photographs.
