Note that the previous editions Vol's 1 to 3 were sold out very quickly and Vol. 3 went into a reprint to satisfy demand! This is NOT Vol. 4 but a completely new edition covering all of the car mascots, desk ornaments and trophies produced by the Lalique company from the start of production in the 1920's through to the post war years until the present day.
This is a complete Reference work or Catalog raisonné, produced especially for schoolers, collector's as well as dealers, and which will be a very welcome reference for all auction houses to refer to in their catalogue descriptions.
