Das werk des Jacopo de' Barbari
Berlin: Amsler & Ruthhardt, 1896. First printing. Hardcover. First printing, 1896. Large folio, original papercovered boards, short text plus 26 plates on 40 leaves, one double page. Minor ex library marks and spine somewhat worn. Plates remarkably fresh and have the appearance (we know this is not the case) of having been printed from the original plates -- the engraved plates (as opposed to the woodcuts) all have left a plate mark on the paper. Printed on excellent bright laid paper. Last appeared at auction (also worn) in 1978 at Christie's (40 Pounds). Some plates stamped on the back by the International Chalcographical Society / Internationale Chalkographische Gesellschaft. Good. Item #B29684
