AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Full title: La Bible en estampes. Lithographies d’après les tableaux de M. Auguste Leloir
First edition of this beautifully illustrated work for children.
There is only one reference in WorldCat to a coloured copy like ours. The rest only have b/w lithographs.
This appears to be hand coloured but we are not 100% sure.
Red cloth cover with black and gilt decoration and gilt titles to the front board and the spine. All edges gilt. The binding is somewhat darkened, and a little bumped.
Inside, the pages are generally fairly clean but with a few marks to the edges.
The book has a frontispiece and 23 further full page colour lithographed plates by Maurice Leloir, engraved by Lemercier & Cie. (A total of 24 plates). Complete.
Each of the plates has a paper guard. These are quite chipped, and have some closed tears to them. The plates themselves are in very good condition.
52 pages. 24cm x 32cm.
Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 14698504. Only two library holdings. (Both in the USA). We cannot find any other coloured copies of this book available at the time of cataloguing.
Seller's Story
We are professional booksellers based in France, and have been members of ILAB for many years. We currently hold full membership of SLAM, as well as other organisations. We also sell at fairs and markets across Europe.
We are often found at brocantes and marches, searching for books and prints. We are also always interested in acquiring new stock from individuals, so if you have books or prints to sell, do get in touch.
We are proud to purchase biodegradable packaging and materials. Where possible, all of our book wrap and tape are compostable or re-cyclable. If you do receive any plastic bubble wrap from us - it is because we are re-using items we have received.
