The Lord's Supper : Christ and his twelve Desciples by Niessen, Johann Joseph b. 1821.; Sighart, Joachim 1824-1867 - 1868

London: F. Bruckmann, 1868. From the original crayon-drawings of Leonardo da Vinci in the possession of Her Royal Highness the Grand Dutchess of Saxe-Weimar, by John Niessen. With explanatory text by J. Sighart. Translation of Das Abendmahl des Herrn. [6] p. : 12 plates. ; 35 cm. In the original burgundy bevelled boards, with elaborate gilt decoration to upper cover. It would appear that the leather covering to the boards was laid down quite tightly and has for that reason been more prone to chipping. There is sporadic chipping to covers as my illustrations will recognise. Internally a very tight copy, as published, the illustrations do have some fox spotting to margin areas, again I will provide a representative image. Nevertheless, this remains an attractive book and one which is proving quite difficult to find. [ Loaction: Landing Case ]. Hard Cover. Good+ [ See Below & Images ]. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
