Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Oversized hardcover. Full leather with thick, bevel edged boards & black decorative stamping. Both boards are detached, but present here - they were too heavy for the thin leather hinges. Spine strip (raised cords, gold lettering) a little scuffed. Marbled endpapers and heavily gilt page edges. This was a very handsome book when it was new. Early ownership name from 1856 at the front. Text block tightly sewn and entirely intact. 408 pages + 21 very fine steel engravings. The engraved portraits are hand colored & are as nicely done as any we've seen. Engravings are after Copley, Gainsborough, Stuart, Trumbull and others. Each has a leaf of protective tissue. It is not easy to make Martha Washington look lovely, but it has been accomplished here. The book itself is not particularly scarce but the quality of the hand coloring here has elevated it into our Rare Book section; we do not see any other copies available that have been enhanced thusly. Please email with questions or to request photos.
