Description
2 Vols., 4to (310 x 230 mm), 1162pp., handsomely printed and illustrated in colour and black-and-white, orig. cloth, d.w. As new. The first volume provides introductory surveys on the collecting of ancient rÈgime books and Baron Ferdinandís interests. The following chapters discuss the late 17th and 18th century Parisian bookbinding trade, with particular studies on the style and production of leading bookbinders, Padeloup, Douceur, the Deromes and others. The provenance index records past owners, with brief biographical notes, and there is a select bibliography. The classified index of over 1000 French bookbinderís tools, reproduced digitally in actual size, provides an authoritative reference file on the best French bookbinding of the period.
