About This Item
Milano: Fratelli Treves, 1928. This is a stunningly beautiful set of books. I can find no date in the first volume, but the other 3 volumes are dated 1928. This is a 4 volume set. Volume 1 is full leather with beveled boards and 3 raised bands on the spine. Decorative design on front and rear boards. Volume 1 is in very good plus condition and the other volumes are near fine to fine. The book has metal clasps and the leather part of the clasp assembly is present on both books. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 are a smaller format and have red morocco on the spines and part of the board and red morocco on the corners. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 have the title in bright gold gilt lettering on the spine along with a decorative illustration on the spine. I can find no other 4 volume set of these listed for sale on any of the major book selling sites. The volumes are v. 1. Alle Pleiadi e ai Fati --, Annunzio -Maia --v. 2. Elettra --v. 3. Alcione --v. 4. Merope..All of these volumes appear to be deluxe editions printed on handmade paper. The book pages are in pristine condition.. The volumes show very little wear, but the leather on the first volume shows light scuffing on the front and rear. The leather bound volume has a slight bowing which I believe is related to the binding as I have another book that is bound in a similar fashion and shows the same light bowing. . Full-Leather. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
