About This Item
E. Ducher Every month during the latter years of the 19th century (the publication is undated and little bibliographical information exists) E. Ducher in Paris issued a numbered, eight-page, 4to installment of lithographed line illustrations of architectural and sculptural details grouped around a central topic, e.g. Fountains. They were issued in no particular order, but were apparently expected to be bound alphabetically by topic when the collection was complete. The central headings were in French with English and German alternatives included (Fountain - Fountaine - Brunnen). This particular volume is alphabetized in English starting with installment number 401, Dome, through number 166, Flowerwork. It contains 32 installments for a total of 256 pp. The page numbers have been carefully rubber-stamped in the upper corners. The binding, though worn, is tight. The FFE is present but barely attached. There is no title page, nor was there ever one. This volume was owned by a major university, and though it did not circulate, was obviously consulted often during the past 100+ years. There is the occasional tear (usually repaired), smudge, or other sign of use. A half-inch or so of atmospheric browning surrounds the pages. All things considered, you will not be disappointed by the condition of this treasure trove of design and ornamentation enclosed in a custom archival box. Shipping costs, including insurance to be determined..
