Gorgeous Pictures!
I almost didn't buy this book because another reviewer mentioned that it is pretty much a reprinting of an earlier book. However, that book is rare now and much more expensive. The pictures in this book are marvelous showing beautiful details. The text is very readable and is a wonderful explanation of the rise of the luxury industry into which Maison Lesage stepped. The connections to this house are well explained and interesting. If you are looking for a scholarly book this probably isn't the one you want, but if you want to understand the role of embroidery in fashion and particularly that of the House of Lesage this is a great place to begin. Someday I'd like to see the other book on which this is based, which I may find in a library, but for now I'm devouring the pictures and text of this one and glad I can own it to go back to it time and again.

Poorly translated
Beautiful photographs but very poor translation which is very difficult to read and almost incomprehensible at times.
