In a very good condition (dedication to first free endpaper). A well preserved copy, neat interior with fine set of plates. - - Beautifully illustrated. 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. The beautifully reproduced early colour photographs were not printed in offset lithography but from relief metal blocks. A somewhat laborious process, it could yield exceptionally nice results if done with great attention to detail, and the plates here are a good example for such. Scarce. . more information
