Notes

Original black cloth spine with off-white paper boards, with gilt spine title and Dali's gilt signature on cover. In 1958, the Cheatham Foundation which is a charitable trust founded in 1934, acquired the entire collection of jewelry designed by Dali and is housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA. This book is a complete catalog with brilliant color photos of every piece in the collection, all executed by jewelers in precious metals and stones. The catalogue was never sold in retail stores but only as a private printing produced by the Owen Cheatham foundation. This work is complete with its b/w tipped-in portrait of Dali and 28 color tipped-in plates.
