Suzanne Belperron Sylvie Raulet & Olivier Baroin ISBN: 9781851496259 277 x 277mm. 352pp. 250col. £75.00/£52.80
Suzanne Belperron was one of the most talented and influential jewellery designers of the 20th century. Fascinated by coloured stones, regardless of their value, she created highly innovative pieces. Her work frequently appeared in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and her clientele included most of Europe's royalty and aristocrats as well as bankers, fashion designers, and movie stars. Inspired by the discovery of Belperron’s personal archives in 2007, the authors of this book have created the first volume dedicated to the life and works of this renowned and Parisian jeweller.
Boucheron The Secret Archives Vincent Meylan ISBN: 9781851496679 277 x 277mm. 304pp. 200col. 100b.&.w. £49.95/£35.16
The House of Boucheron is one of the great Parisian jewellers of the last 150 years. Having been given unprecedented access to the company vaults,Vincent Meylan has made some remarkable discoveries. Perhaps the most significant is a register labelled 'Book of Stones'; a record of all the precious stones that have entered Boucheron's stock, including who bought and sold them. Meylan also uncovered almost 200 order books and 150 letters. It is these 'Secret Archives' that have enabled him to reveal the fascinating history of Boucheron and his extraordinary, colourful clientele.

Over the last thirty years Victoria Crowe, one of Scotland's leading painters, has established herself as a painter whose work is instantly recognisable. This book covers her full range - landscape, still lifes, portraits, selfportraits and interiors - but much of her work defies such precise categorisation. She has been described as one of the most vital and original figurative painters currently at work in Scotland. An essay by art historian and critic Colin Bailey, sets her work in context. Then follows a chronological path through her life and work, told in her own highly individual words, but punctuated by the voices of critics. It concludes close in time to where it started, thus forming a cyclical link, a theme that runs as a constant thread throughout the work itself.

Influenced by an overwhelming wave of political, military and social change, 19th-century Europe represented an era more diverse in painterly subjects and styles than any before it. Indeed, it was a period that saw many European painters moving away from the strictures of the academy system, choosing instead to use their training to develop new techniques and traditions. From Barbizon to Belle Époque represents a comprehensive guide to the entire range of stylistically diverse genres of 19th-century European painting. Accessible and insightful, this exquisitely illustrated volume presents the historical context behind the century's essential artistic movements including Romantic Painting, The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Realist Painting, Academic Painting, and Impressionist Painting.

The recent emergence of many of his objets de luxe enables the reader to understand many of his pieces for the first time. Beautifully illustrated, this stunning publication will leave the reader captivated by this decadent expression of the new art that changed the European aesthetic forever.

Japanned Papier Mâché and Tinware c.1740-1940 Yvonne Jones ISBN: 9781851496860 300 x 237mm. 336pp. 360col. £45.00/£31.68
This long overdue book strikingly re-casts papier mâché and tinware as products of one industry – japanning – and restores them to their earlier position as highly regarded forms of decorative art, esteemed as much by designers such as Robert Adam, as by fashionable society across Europe and beyond. It also discusses critical views and relates how an industry, so reliant upon highly skilled decorative processes, adapted and continued to flourish in an increasingly mechanised age to eventually disappear in the 1930s. By illustrating marked or well-documented examples of papier mâché and tinware, many long forgotten but important jappaners of the English midlands are re-united with their products and given the recognition they deserve. Collectors, and those engaged in cataloguing japanned wares, will be able to not only make new attributions, but also revise some customary ones.

'Future needs heritage' - these were the words with which German philosopher Odo Marquard summarised his insight that the new world cannot exist without the legacy of the old one. The same words aptly describe the quintessence of Reinhard Meis' work devoted to A. Lange & Söhne, probably Germany's most famous watch brand. With his profoundly detailed knowledge, the author builds a bridge from the grand heritage of the brand in the 19th century to its current eminence at the pinnacle of international precision watchmaking. Reinhard Meis invested eight years to thoroughly revise his standard work dedicated to the horological legend from Dresden. In a fourth, significantly expanded edition, it is now being presented by the Munich-based Callwey publishing house as a two-volume treatise entitled A. Lange & Söhne.

Impressionists in their Gardens explores gardens through the senses of Impressionists from three continents - Europe, North America and Australia - enjoying the essentially similar pleasures of the garden, but engaging with the light from their skies in order to create very different sensations. The first section uses contemporary paintings and photographs to illustrate the who, what and where of Impressionist gardens - planting, eating, sleeping, working and painting.The second section, illustrated with paintings, old photographs and modern images, starts at the horticultural source - the nurseryman Latour-Marliac at Temple sur Lot, then Monet at Giverny; American Impressionists at Old Lyme, Cos Cob and Appledore in the USA; Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood and beyond; the Heidelburg School and Frederick McCubbin at Fontainebleau; and, chronologically last but not least, Renoir at Les Colettes.

Richmond Park Photographs by Alex Saberi. Text by John Karter ISBN: 9781851496792 277 x 346mm. 156pp. 120col. £25.00/£17.60
Sir David Attenborough has described Richmond Park as 'a very special place', and with good reason. This vast oasis of green, just eight miles from the centre of London, is an ecological pearl in the midst of sprawling urbanisation. Most famous for its herd of 630 Fallow and Red Deer, it is not only Europe's largest park, it is as large as the seven other royal parks combined. Since King Charles I enclosed the park in 1637, it has provided a haven of tranquillity and diversion for all its visitors. In this beautiful book, Alex Saberi captures Richmond Park's unique blend of rare and diverse wildlife, plant life and rolling landscapes. From a crow perching on a bench in the morning haze to a foolhardy Labrador breaking impatiently away from its owner, the photographs capture its inherent beauty as well as those rare moments of wildlife action and majesty that only yield themselves to the most patient of observers.
