Annales De L'imprimerie Des Elsevier
Gand: C. Annoot-Braeckman, 1858. Hardcover. lxxii, 502p, (1). Original blue roan over speckled boards. Second and best edition of Pieters' bibliography of the Elzevier Press. The first bibliographical attempt to capture all the editions printed by the Elzevier Press, including the items annexed. It remained the single authority until the appearance of Willems bibliography in 1880 and the later various supplements by Berghman. However, it is still an important bibliographical authority on the press with detailed commentaries. It does not include the scarce and often missing 26 page addition containing supplements and corrections published in 1860. Slight wear to the head and foot and some general soiling to the spine. A very small dent in the upper right hinge and a tear in the inside front blank. Otherwise internally a fresh clean copy of this scarce edition. Very Good. Item #003004
8vo.
