Sobre este artículo
New York & Boston:: The Pierpont Morgan Library / David R. Godine, (1973). Hardcover first edition -. Ex-library but overall tight and clean in brown boards with a black cloth spine, gilt titling and decoration in a very good dust jacket (some wear to the top edge, chipping at top of spine, inconspicuous label). First edition. Published in connection with an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library from September 11 to December 2, 1973. As noted on the dust jacket "It includes descriptions of the lives of the great printers, Gutenberg, De Toumes, Baskerville, Aldus, and presents the historical backgrounds against which their work was done. . . It is, in one sense, a personal selection, dependent on Mr. Blumenthal's exacting aesthetic standards and, in another, a testament to the discrimination and collections of that preeminent repository of typography - The Pierpont Morgan Library. The 112 books selected and reproduced, from the Gutenberg Bible to the twentieth-century works of Mardersteig, Rogers, Gill, Updike, and Meynell, are among the finest copies known." 125 full page black and white illustrations, including one folding plate. Bibliography, index. xiv, 192 pp plus colophon.
