”By the terms of a secret contract executed between Desire Christian and Galle in the years 1885-1896, Christian agreed to supply Galle in Nancy with artistically designed and decorated glass vases for the French and world market. During the eleven year life of this secret association, thousands of glass objects produced by Christian were attributed to Emile Galle – a belief that has persisted to this day.”  THE GLASS OF DESIRE CHRISTIAN – GHOST FOR GALLE  by Jules S. Traub, The Art Glass Exchange, Chicago, 1978 First Edition.  68 black-and-white and mostly color plates with complete in-depth descriptions illustrate superb examples of the glass of Desire Christian. The narrative in this book is rich and reviews the intriguing relationship between Desire Christian and Emile Galle and the history of their respective firms (Burgun and Schverer and Galle). “In Christian’s native town of Meisenthal, “everybody” knows that Christian was the artist and Galle the merchant who sold the art glass under the Galle name.” The investigative research and supporting documentation, and the numerous pictured examples of this glass studied by the author, shed a new light on the art glass of Galle. The information in this book is simply fascinating. If you are a collector, dealer, or historian of French art glass, you will want a copy of this rare and wonderfully illustrated book as a part of your permanent reference library.  Oversize 9.25” x 12.2” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 143 pages.  FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States.
