About This Item
Berlin: Christian Friedrich Voß. Good with no dust jacket. 1759. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. Quarter Leather (spine only) with grey marbled paper covered boards. Probably a later 18th/early 19th century rebind, but retaining most of the original spine ( ? ) . Loss to the top of the spine and repaired to the bottom. Bumped corners. Title label in gothic lettering to spine. Copper engraved Frontispiece, and Vignette engraving on the title page. A former owners name in old ink has been erased from the title but some traces remain. Pagination runs as follows : - Blank endpaper; Frontispiece and title page; blank reverse. (I- XII) + 1-248pp then 250 followed by 249 = Pages in right order - pagination reversed. (I presume, therefore, this is a 1st Edition, 1st printing? ). Page fore-edges marbled but marbling very faded, as it is on the paper to the boards. Internally very tight but with some light thumbing/marks and spotting/patching here and there - but overall quite clean and all legible. One small hole to the blank fore-edge of page 20, o/w NO major faults. Complete. The vignette and the allegorical frontispiece are by J. W. Meil. GERMAN Text throughout. See Images. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall .
