Description
THE UNIQUE COPY of this gift book created for banker Alfredo Taylor upon his retirement from the Barcelona branch of the Banco Anglo Sud Americano. Comprises an initial blank, title-page PRINTED IN GOLD, 63 leaves of signatures (three signatures to a leaf), and three final blanks. The signatures (those of Taylor's colleagues) are of great interest from the point of view of graphic design: they are very dashing and calligraphic in the Spanish style, with characteristic flourishes. Extremely fine wove paper. Beautifully bound in full morocco by MIQUEL RIUS (signed), covers and turn-ins ruled in gilt, Taylor's initials in gilt on fron cover, all edges gilt. FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. UNIQUE.
