About this Item

Royal quarto. Pp. xi, 41. Plus frontispiece and 32 plates, many of which are folding, bound at end. Includes 3 plates in colour. With 8 figures in the text. Original Erratum slip tipped-in. Indices. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's orange quarter cloth and printed grey boards, bit finger soiled; corners bit rubbed, spine ends very slightly bumped. A very good copy in fine internal condition with all the wonderful plates rather crisp. ~ FIRST EDITION. Archaeological Survey of Egypt, 22nd Memoir. The monochromatic plates are printed in collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. With the charming bookplate, that of Bruce Bryan, on first paste-down. OSIRIS-1.
