Popular Arts of Mexico 1850-1950 (A Schiffer Book for Collectors)

From Library Journal Inspired by the 1990 exhibition of the Nelson A. Rockefeller collection of folk art at the San Antonio Museum of Art (Folk Treasures of Mexico: The Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection, LJ 10/15/90), McMenamin, a collector and dealer, began to research the history, techniques, and artisans who produced these popular arts during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Individual chapters discuss pottery, clay figures and banks, talavera (majolica), marionettes, straw mosaics, coconut banks, laquerware, loteria (drawings of games), wax figures, bas-relief wood panels, sarapes and rugs, and home furnishings. Her personal interviews and comprehensive research have led to the identification of artisans and diagrams of artisan family trees. Included are examples of identification markings and a discussion of motifs. Well illustrated with 370 photographs of 675 objects and photographs of scenes from Mexican markets from the 1920s and 1930s, this title is recommended for large public and academic libraries.?Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., N.J.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
