Budapest: Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, 2020. As New. Paperback. 20x28 cm. In English. 328 p. B/w and colour ills.(chiefly colour). Glossy. "On 20 January 1914, the National Hungarian Museum of Applied Arts launched the largest exhibition of Ottoman Turkish carpets of all time....The curators' plan to publish an illustrated book that would have been the first serious publication on Ottoman Turkish carpets was frustrated by the outbreak of the First World War. Today, recognizing the enduring international significance of the 1914 Exhibition of Transylvanian Turkish Rugs, the Budapet Museum of Applied Arts is publishing a book that pays homage to the work of its predecessors more than a century ago by presenting the latest source research findings on the Ottoman-Turkish rugs once held by Protestant congregations in Transylvania and the background, history and significance of the 1914 exhibition. It also makes the exhibition 'visible' through as full a presentation as possible of the rugs that were displayed there."--Introduction, page 7.
