Elephant folio.

HARDCOVER bound in the original publisher's full cloth large decoration embossed on cover in gilt gilt spine; the shine of the cloth coating very superficially rubbed in places on cover. In excellent condition mint interior. A splendid copy seldom found in such condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. An outstanding production. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates here image size up to ca. 50x110 cm are very rare indeed in book production so much so in such superb quality.
