First edition. Tall octavo (7 x 10.25"): [8], 81, [7] pp. ; with 12 leaves of plates (6 colored). A poor copy of a very interesting treatise with 12 lithographic plates. Although its covers have gone missing, the text block is sound and complete, all edges gilt; with foxing to the endpapers and to the plates at the back. Of particular interest are the lithographic plates, as they are patented by Charles Hullmandel, author of the classic treatise on lithography, "The Art of Drawing on Stone." The plates are bound out of order: 1-9, 11, 12 and 10.
