Very fine interior and superb plates. ~ FIRST EDITION. The famous catalogue of the arms and armour in the Arsenal of Dresden. A remarkable production. The exquisite plates are printed in collotype, 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. Printed at the Kunstanstalt Stengel of Dresden. The elegant binding is by H. Sperling, after a design by Erich Gruner, Leipzig. G-3
