    In the late 1920s and early 1930s,
    American manufacturers created a stunning variety of powder compacts reflecting
    the modern design concepts of what we now call Art Deco. The advent of the
    Great Depression had a devastating effect on the producers of these beautiful
    compacts. Many manufacturers either went out of business or merged with other
    companies. The book includes comprehensive coverage of the Art Deco
    compacts produced by Elgin American and J. M. Fisher as well as a survey of Art
    Deco compacts produced by other American manufacturers of this era including
    Evans Case Company; the Girey Company; Marathon Company; Pilcher Manufacturing
    Company; the Richard Hudnut Corporation; Ripley & Gowen Company; Theodore
    W. Foster & Bros. Co.; Volupte, Inc.; and others. The book includes 1120
    color photographs, historical information relating to the emergence of powder
    compacts and Art Deco design, historical information concerning American
    compact manufacturers of this era, an extensive bibliography, and other reference
    materials.
