Description: Vienna: , 1840. Fourteen Superb Hand Colored Lithograph Plates Depicting the Various Costumes of the Different Regions of Italy FRANCESCHINI, Gerolamo. GERASCH, August. Italien und seine Bewohner (Italy and its Inhabitants). Vienna, [1840]. First edition. Oblong quarto (12 1/2 x 20 1/8 inches; 318 x 511 mm.). 30 pp. Fourteen superb hand colored lithograph plates.

First leaf of text with lower blank corner expertly repaired. Contemporary quarter brown cloth over mottled boards, cloth corner tips, spine lettered in gilt. Inner hinge cracked, some wear to spine and corner extremities. An extremely rare suite of plates recording the various costumes typical to the different regions of Italy. Each plate is accompanied by a descriptive text in German offering further information on the typical customs, trade and geographical attributes of the locales depicted. The highly colored plates, include illustrations of the inhabitants of Malta which used to be part of Italy- Apparently the Lipperheide copy has been lost, so now there appears to be only one other known copy which is housed at the Österreichische akademie der wissenschaften (Austrian Academy of Sciences) in Vienna. Their record suggests the present publication was originally intended to be part I of a larger series titled Panorama aller Völker Europas, however the lack of other known parts suggests that this plan never came to fruition and the series was ultimately scrapped.
