Regan Brumagen from the Rakow library sends this along. For those in the area
this should be a “must see”. For the rest, Regan promises when this goes up on
the CMoG web site to send a link. Perhaps we can entice the Library to include
this in a presentation at next year’s Symposium.
Alan: Thought some of your club members might be interested in a new exhibit going up next week at the Rakow Library. It includes 8 Frederick Carder design drawings, plus a number of other interesting items. The Carder drawings are absolutely beautiful.
“Perfume Bottles: From Design Table to Dressing Table”
Through February 1, 2008
Rakow Research Library
Featuring more than 30 items from the Rakow Research Library’s special collection of
drawings, rare books, catalogs, and advertisements, this exhibit traces the story of the perfume bottle from design and concept to the marketing and selling of the final product. The display includes original design drawings by Frederick Carder and René Lalique, perfume
advertisements from the 19th century through the 1950s, trade catalogues, and even a scratch
& sniff book on perfume.
