About this Item

Brown cloth with gilt lettering to fr. and sp. plus gilt coat of arms to fr., clean, extremities all rubbed to varying extents.All edges gilt. Etched f/piece + 56, 9 further etched plates ex-pagination, numerous text vignettes; main problem is heavy tanning to recto (but not image) of f/piece and last page, but this seems to be common to all copies, t.p. also largely, but lightly, tanned, tanning spots to most plates, gutter incipiently opening after f/piece and others tender throughout although text-block basically secure. A bright and attractive copy of this fairly uncommon folio though needs a little discreet attention to gutters. 25.5 cm x 35.5 cm. Seller Inventory # 013649
