Scarves Hermès Carrés d’art lV: Classic Scarves- edits & discussion

[turfnsurf]

With the release of Carrés d’art lV (CA4) comes some inevitable discovery of typos, errors, omissions, etc. The Forward states that CA4 will be done in a trilogy: Classic Scarves, Limited Editions, and Special Issues. As far as I know we only have Classic Scarves to date, so starting this thread with that in mind.

I thought this might be a great place to share observations and corrections with each other on our quest towards total scarf-enlightenment

Bozkachi (2000 by Sophie Kochlin) is listed as a regular (read: 90 cm silk). It was issued in 70cm cotton only. This error is both in the 3rd and the 4th edition.

Might be easier to just copy-paste the content and give credit to the original owners. Let me know if I can help.

Clovis Le Crocodile (Alice Charbin 1995) — there was an English-language gavroche as well. Same CW, just in English. Perhaps that will be reflected in one of the special edition books though.

Corinth (F de la Perrière 1964); there was a special edition for the Tokyo Olympics as well. Once again, perhaps that will be listed on a dedicated book

Actually, never mind, the 4th edition doesn’t even list that scarf, so I assume it will be in the Special Edition book. Still, the comment stands.

I bookmarked related comments from SOTD, and will copy/paste the pertinent ones as you suggest.
Please feel free to add anything you think I missed. Thanks!

In the Special edition book, I would love to see the Waterproof scarves (Eva and Neige d’Antan) come to mind

A scarf called Rougueur de Matinaux (by René Char, I don’t know the year) is missing from both the 3rd and the 4th edition.

@Foxy trini can be credited with asking the initial question on SOTD to begin list of CA4 omissions & inspire this thread

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

Love your colorway Awillow. I was logging on to post my Navy one with the same little close up! Great minds right!? :drinks: Thanks, Magjes! Great minds, indeed! So happy to be your sister. :hugs: Thank you so much! Wow - that is beautiful on you! That pendant is extraordinary! I very...

Here’s [USER=663070]@Foxy trini ’s shared observation after that:

Exposition, cosmographia, battery are all there. Missing Legende du cheval and Grand Prix. Interestingly Bains d’hermes is credited to Hugo grygkar and not ugo gattoni. Très bizarre !

@Winter4 made this observation:
“Francois Houtin’s ”Les Cabanes” is missing, too.”

“Also CdA III does not note special editions correctly. I wonder where the author got her information?”

I think Sp.Ed.s proved so problematic in CAlll that prompted author to create a separate volume to, hopefully, get things right. From what I understand she has access to H’s records (thus the ‘rename’ of a few designs), which as I further understand to be somewhat chaotic, soooo info might not be completely accurate or definitive?

I’m such a nerd that I would love that thread. I noticed my vintage States commemorative didn’t have the special edition listed In its codes.

I read in Forward of CAlV that she’s created a “trilogy” this time around with one volume dedicated to Sp.Issues and third for Limited Editions (though a couple appear in CA4 for some reason). So far I’ve been unable to locate these other 2 volumes and author neglected to answer that question when I emailed her about another topic.
