Beschreibung

First Edition. 10 x 6 1/2 inches. 148 pages. Exquisitely bound (unsigned) in full maroon morocco, likely by the Hampstead Bindery, based on similar patterning, tooling and craftsmanship. An elegant rendering, with very precise tooling work involving a complicated and aesthetically pleasing waving and geometric mix, vines and blossoms, and copious stippling and nailheads on both covers. Spine with five raised bands and six panels, five of which are intricately tooled, the second has the title, and the date is at the bottom. Stunning wide dentelles with very elaborate gilt stamped repeating design motif, and with a central panel of fine geen silk moire, repeated on the fly leaves. Side edges of the binding with gilt stippling closely spaced on all three sides. Top edges gilt. The Large Paper Copy for this title is very scarce. Fine condition. A most desirable and attractive binding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6381
