Glass Paperweights of the
Bergstrom Art Center
by Evelyn Cloak
This is the second book to attempt to cover the extensive
Bergstrom collection. The first book was the Bergstrom book
itself, but this book was written after the Bergstrom Art Center was established.
There are 700 paperweights shown in color. A great reference
covering a wide range of paperweights from the very common to the very
rare. Some people prefer this version because of the larger pictures,
however the scholarship is earlier and some attributions are corrected
in the more recent Casper book on the collection. The bibliography
is extensive.
If money is no object, you can't go wrong having all
three books. Each has a different perspective on the collection.
196 pages with everything in color.
Hard bound. 8 3/4" by 11 1/4". 1969.
