(Perfume label printing)(J. Makowsky Corporation)   WORK OF ART       &nbspN.P., N.D. (ca.   1933.          No. 42 of two hundred signed copies printed for the friends of printers, J. Makowsky Corporation. The book was published to demonstrate the firm's twelve-color printing technique used for producing the label for perfumer Caron's famous Fleurs De Rocaille fragrance. Fleurs De Rocaille (not to be confused with the later Fleur de Rocaille) was created by Ernest Daltroff, founder of the Parisian House of Caron for the new "woman on the move." Caron chose Makowsky to print the label for the perfume, a miniature pattern in a variety of hues, because of their specifications for a twelve color printing process which is demonstrated step by step in this booklet. Each color step is presented on a glossy sheet with printed tissue guard. The culminating color image is shown going through two protective finishes or "glacés" and being presented as a label ready for die-cutting.   Spiral bound booklet 12 x 15 cm. 34 ff. most printed in colors, with 26 printed tissue guards.            Original stiff paper covers with multi-color label pasted down. $200.00
