ISBN: 9780764314049 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Neither a particular style nor the product of one company, crackle glass has become one of the popular fields of twentieth century glass collecting.

Fashion Fabrics: 1960s
ISBN: 9780764305849 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fabrics can represent an era or a decade-the colors, patterns, textures, and fibers reveal as much about the culture as do the furnishings and clothing that relied on the fabrics. The decade of the 1960s was one of extremes. Traditional plaids were reintroduced and became popular at the same time as bold prints and geometrics, notably Op Art and "psychedelic" patterns and colors, characterized the decade. Synthetics took off, and phrases like "polyester knit" and "stretch knit" elicit visions of unmistakably '60s staples. The best way to experience the fabric of a decade is to see it, and...
