In good/very good condition. ~ First edition. Monuments de l'Art Byzantin, III. Jean Ebersolt, (1879-1933). A remarkable production. The exquisite plates are printed in collotype on thick, fine paper. Some are double-page. Collotype is 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. X-4 .
