About This Item
Paris, Ponce Lebas, 1838-1840.. 1st Edition . Hardcover. .. Eight volumes. Crown quarto. Plus 620 lithographic plates of costume studies. (The pagination of the plates in volume 5 is somewhat haphazard, skipping some numbers and duplicating others on different plates.) HARDCOVER, uniformly bound in contemporary full molted blonde calf, spine richly decorated in gilt, green morocco lettering-piece in gilt to each spine, marbled endpapers, all edges marbled, cloth ribbon markers; some scuffs to boards, spine-ends occasionally slightly worn, one foot chipped. Some spotting and browning due to paper quality, otherwise fresh and bright. Attractive set, very wide margined. ~ FIRST EDITION. Rare complete set with all the wonderful plates preserved in their original state. Most copies of this work have undergone the treatment of colouring by later, often inexperienced hands, much to the dismay of the purists. Few, if any, survived unaltered. [Provenance:] From the library of C. P. Mulder, renowned collector and international heraldry authority, with his charming armorial bookplate,"Nil Desperandum", to first free endpaper. For a complete catalogue of Mulder's library, from which we offer a considerable number of items, see: C. P. Mulder: "Catalogue of Works on Orders, Decorations and Medals in the Library of C. P. Mulder" (Rotterdam, 1988). See also: C. P. Mulder & A. A. Purves: "Bibliography of Orders and Decorations" (Copenhagen, 1999). Two earlier small ownership tickets, one rubbed and removed, to each first pastedown. H-1
