This catalog, created by Craig E. Carlson for the American Cut Glass Association, presents information regarding the Straus Rich Cut Glass of the R.H. Macy & Co. department store and the importing firm of L. Straus & Sons. The catalog includes images of 92 cut glass patterns from 1888 to 1911 and is greatly enhanced by supporting research material. Included in the catalog is the research paper, "The Macy-Straus Cut Class Connection" by Craig E. Carlson, a story of how these two companies entered and made major contributions to the glass-cutting business. This article gives context for the subsequent cut glass section, which has been assembled from photographs of Straus cut glass illustrations that appeared in the trade papers. This catalog is major step forward in the documentation of the Rich Cut Glass of L. Straus & Sons.
