Description: 1960s Barcelona Municipal Funeral Parlors Catalog of Coffins, Urns & Hearses. - - - DISCUSSION: “Ayuntamiento de Barcelona - Servicio Municipal de Pompas Funebres” (City Council of Barcelona- Services of Municipal Funeral Parlors).A rather incredible catalog of fancy and plain caskets (32), urns (4), burial stands (3), and hearses (17 plus 4 interiors, 21 plates). The caskets range from the plainest wood to the most exuberant examples of Spanish Baroque craftsmanship in exotic woods, ostentatious brass and gilt fittings, some with painfully dramatic sculpted crucifixions going on as their central decoration. But even eclipsing these creations are the hearses, which came in a wide range of styles and ages, from modern station wagons to painfully utilitarian delivery-type service vans, from 1950s behemoths to elegant sedans left over from the 1930s, and an all-black 1920s pickup truck with a towering black and gold painted rotunda set on the truck bed.Hardcover. 12.5”x6.5”. 4 pages of text plus 60 color plates. Minor soil, light wear. SHIPPING NOTES: Shipping charges for books are based on the weight, when packed, of each package -we offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one book.
