Description des Antiquités et Objets d'Art

Title: Description des Antiquités et Objets d'Art ... Publisher: F. Dumoulin Publication Date: 1855 Binding: Hardcover Book Condition:Very Good Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Edition: 1st Edition

This is a recovered copy of "Description des Antiquités et Objets d'Art Contenus dans Les Salles du Palais-des-Arts de la Ville de Lyon", with a leather spine, which has 5 raised bands, decorations and lettering in gold, and marbled green boards. There is some wear, including one bump to the back outside edge, shallow bumps to the corners, and several scuffs to the leather, but the cover (12.25" x 10.25") is in good overall condition, with a straight spine, unfaded gilt, a solid connection to the inside, and with only slight fade to the marbled boards. The inside, 851 text pages followed by 28 pages of plates, is also in good overall condition. The only attachments are the personal bookplate of Stephen V. Grancsay, the former arms and armor curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a small bound-in slip, in the title spread, referring to the redone cover (demi rel verte). This slip seems to refer to the binder, with the name M. Buttin, but I've found no references to that name. There are a few pencil notations, but almost all pages have none. The binding is tight, with no loose or missing pages. There are few creases, and no tears of note. There are foxed and otherwise stained pages, most of which is light. Most page faces have no stains. The text is clean and unfaded throughout the book.
