A UNIQUE BOOK on SILVER ENAMEL CIGARETTE CASES & SNUFF BOXES BY ELWIN DE WOLF
This book reveals the untold stories captured in silver enamel boxes from around 1900, stories that remain strikingly relevant today. Themes such as gender inequality and eroticism, war, consequences of colonialism, climate change and social injustice are unearthed through these exquisite objects.
It explores connections to the non-avant-garde art of the period and the world of collectible vintage postcards, offering a fresh perspective on overlooked visual culture. Last but not least, the book pays tribute to the many often-forgotten female artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, honoring their creativity and legacy.
Hardback, 312 pages, over 580 illustrations, Language English, privately published, ISBN 9789090404271, price € 75 excl P&P.
