Contact seller5-star sellerOriginal Wrappers. Condition: Near Fine binding. Octavo. [2], 145, [1] pp. Facsimile. As issued, with printed wrappers. Nearly fine. A remarkably good facsimile of an early foundry specimen book. At the time of its reproduction, only four copies were known to exist. The original is a remarkable artifact for a foundry that only o…perated for 6 years. The quantity of fonts, decorations, embellishments, etc. is incredible. Even this facsimile is strangely rare. Only the American Antiquarian Society reports ownership according to OCLC.
