Dopter, L . n/a. n/a Type: n/a A beautiful small book with a deep purple velvet spine complete with a white metal or brass title block and brass border ends. TEXT IN ITALIAN. Original cream boards - very probably an early Victorian plastic. Each border has a brass surround. A hinged brass metal clip holds the two boards together - itself in the shape of a cross. An ornate cross in brass is pinned to the front board. Silk effect endpapers. A tissue guarded steel engraved frontispiece plate along with another one to the start of 'della penitenza' - both engraved in Paris as was the title page. The title page is a charming chromolithograph with Mary Magdalene (?) and one other woman now portrayed as saints - one carrying the cross and the other Jesus' crown of thorns. All edges gilt. Light or slight wear to the velvet on the edge of the spine and light shelf wear to the boards. A charming book in super original condition - digital image on request.
