Description
Paris [New York]: "Librairie de Médecine, Folklore et Anthropologie [Benjamin Rebhuhn]". 1898 [1937]. "No. 225 of 500 copies. 8vo. two volumes, pp. xl+343; xxiv+502. A reprint by Rebhuhn's Falstaff Press of the 1898 Paris edition published by Charles Carrington. The work is augmented by a suite of twelve drawings of naked ladies from 'primitive' societies housed in a stout card folder, with blue ties, designed to match the binding of the book. The illustrations would seem to have been part of the original Paris edition, since one of them at least is dated 1897. The folder containing the plates has a bookplate saying that it was donated to the Motion Picture Country House by Fank Campeau. The author's true name is probably Louis Jacolliot." .
reprint : Any printing of a book which follows the original edition. By definition, a reprint is not a first edition.
plates : Full page illustrations or photographs. Plates are printed separately from the text of the book, and bound in at production. I.e., they are not sewn as parts of gatherings.
8vo : Short for Octavo, A book whose page size is approximately 8-10 inches tall. The size is based on a sheet of paper 25 inches by 38 inches, the size of paper traditionally used by book printers, which has been folded and cut into 16 pages..
Unfortunately often misunderstood to mean 8 volumes.
bookplate : A device (often decorative) affixed to the book, usually on the endpapers, which designates ownership (or former ownership).
