Abstract

en_US
This book is a wonderful prize! One of my very favorites. The shop owner spoke disparagingly of the book because it had lost its first volume. I found this book in a few minutes I stole from lunch before further touring with family. There are about fifty-seven beautiful colored illustrations, including book titles, some half-page and some full. Are they aquarelles ? The very best of them are on 88, 153, 180, 213, and 281. There are also many designs in brown ink around the titles of fables. The paper is vélin de Rives and the page-tops are gilt. Not in Hobbs, Bassy, or Quinnam. This extra volume is beautifully bound. Will I ever find a first volume to accompany it? (Yes, I did!).
