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.
