Maison Daems, Brussels, c. 1890, Decorative coloured title, coloured decorative advertisement plate for Maison Daems, and 23 different decorative coloured plates onto which crests are to be applied, which in this case has been beautifully achieved. About half a dozen crests have been lost. Oblong folio,original blindstamped cloth lettered in gilt. In excellent condition. With on a rear blank leaf tipped-in is a large a hand-made paper lace valentine "Loves Barometer" - "My Spirit Hath an Atmosphere that's ruled by thee alone, 'Tis ever Sunshine when Thou'rt Near" etc. etc.Certainly the most elaborate crest album we have ever seen. One of the plates appears trimmed on the inner margin in our photograph - it is not, just a little too large for our scanner bed.
