{"product_id":"mardi-gras-treasures-henri-schindler-9781565548756","title":"Mardi Gras Treasures: Float Designs of the Golden Age Postcard Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe glimmering processions of the masked gods and bearded kings of New Orleans Carnival occupy a central position among the rites and glories of this great festival. The long succession of these glowing, torch-lit pageants--with their towering monsters and fantastic decors, their papier-m ch kingdoms and diamond-dust thrones--became the greatest and most beloved of New Orleans communal rituals. The fantastic parade floats of Carnival's Golden Age (1870-1930) illustrated themes drawn from mythology, epic literature, history, nature, and whimsy. Presented in this collection are thirty dazzling examples of original float designs as rendered in watercolor and lithographs--most of them reproduced here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Schindler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565548752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565548756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelican Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Novelty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.06h x 6.12w x 0.45d\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot available to be shipped via Media Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Schindler","offers":[{"title":"Novelty","offer_id":49082824753407,"sku":"9781565548756","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mardi-gras-treasures-henri-schindler-9781565548756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
