Reviews for Meissen Snuffboxes: Of the Eighteenth Century

This beautifully illustrated volume is something of an extraordinary breakthrough. [The book] discusses more than one hundred porcelain snuffboxes, . . . each photographed with great skill, many from more than one angle. . . . The catalogue itself is preceded by a number of essays by some of the most distinguished scholars in the field. . . . Such a collaboration is to be greatly applauded, and the result will prove to be of continuing benefit to those interested in the social history of taste in the eighteenth century, and to those with a passion for the products. -- Burlington (7/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)
