Description
No inscriptions or marks. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Very slight rubbing to top of spine and to rear edge near bottom of spine. 28pp. Orbis Pictus #13. The first European porcelains, particularly that of Meissen in Germany, are a product of the the Rococo period in the eighteenth century when life was free and easy, especially for those of great wealth, and this was reflected on these designs.
