"This

lavish

two-volume

slipcased

work

is

a

publishing

event

for

the

quality

of

its

design,

full-size

reproductions,

extensive

documenta - tion, and illustrated chronology and index.

With more than 3,000 pieces dating from the

1860s to the present, the Cartier Collection

constitutes the world's largest collection of

its kind. This luxury work traces the history

of the collection's high jewelry holdings, and

attests to the originality and artistic genius

that made Cartier a world-class jeweler. The

two-volume set showcases the extraordinary

pieces from collectors such as Queen Eliza - beth, the Duchess of Windsor, Daisy Fellowes,

Barbara Hutton, and Sir Bhupindra Singh, the

Maharajah of Patiala, highlighting Cartier's

mastery of the jeweler's art through highly

original designs, unique colors, and legendary

precious stones. More than 600 objects and

drawings from Cartier's vast archives, some

previously unseen, are reproduced at actual

size and include Cartier's famous ""bestiary""

of exotic animals as well as more recent rare

brooches, necklaces, and bracelets from the

1960s and 1970s."
