Biographies of the artists of the famous jewelry house, recent history, famous clients and how the businesses got started. The photos are wonderful; I only wish there were more of them. A MUST! Review: Great history book and PICTURES! - After viewing the "Carier and America" show at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco I had to get this book. It includes most everything we saw at the exhibit plus more. The history of Cartier and the people who commissioned pieces and more are included. And of course there are the pictures! Exactly what you want, large, clear, detailed beautiful pictures. This is the only book you need for everything Cartier.

Good material
This book is wonderfully broken up into chapters highlighting specific styles or products. This is a must have for anyone in the trade that need to identify estate pieces or designers looking to see what the old houses did in the past. Highly recommended.

Book damaged
The book was quite expensive and arrived damaged because it was not properly packaged. All the pages inside were creased at the top. This is suppose to be a coffee table book, so lovely to look at, but the creases and folds are very distracting and spoil the enjoyment I might have had looking at the book. I contacted the seller for a credit or discount but I never received a reply. I am surprised l have not heard anything from the seller so, consequently, l am most unhappy with the lack of care and service.
