About This Item
Stuttgart: Belser, 1971. Leather. Very Good. Elephant Folio. 31 x 19.5 inches, 48lbs. Editon of 750 copies, this is No. 573. Commentary issued with this production by Egon Klemp is NOT present here. The binding in full brown calf with metal ornamented border and corner pieces, with three metal clasps, all edges gilt, with 38 plates of maps. The first two pages a little wrinkled at the top edge, one of the metal borders cracked in one spot but in-place. The leather scuffed in a few places and a little rubbed around the spine ends and some bands, but overall, a nice clean and tight copy and a pretty impressive facsimile.
