Description from the seller
New edition (the first in 1878 under the title How to Become a Draughtsman) of this magnificent pedagogical book on drawing, by the famous architect Viollet-Le-Duc.
Kept in its very beautiful Engel cardboard box in its rare blue color, decorated with Souze plaques, with a rich black and gold design on the front featuring figures drawing against a background of foliage and flowers, and a title frame in black, blue, and gold, decorated with geometric figures. The back is adorned with a gold lattice pattern, and the edges are gilded.
Decorated with 109 illustrations in and outside the text, including two in chromolithography and a frontispiece.
In very good condition, bright gilding and very clean front cover. Spine and headcaps rubbed, slightly worn back. Corners pierced, some marks on the second cover. The paper is normally yellowed with age, with a few scattered foxing spots without severity.
A fine example.
