Sleeping Beauties

 

William J. Dewey

 

 

This exhibition catalogue of 215 pages contains 91 color and 106 black and white photographs. The event took place at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History - UCLA in 1993. Headrests are shown from Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The African examples include those from ancient Egypt.

 

 

   

 

 

Little wonder Jerome Joss grew to collect headrests, in that he founded the Sealy Posturepedic Mattress Co. Over the years the book become the Bible for both new and seasoned African neck rest collectors alike. Quite a number of priceless masterpieces are displayed within.
