Description: Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1936. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Three volumes. I. Text: Quarto. Pp. xlviii, 209; II-III. Plates: Two Imperial folios with a total of colour 104 plates, 52 in each volume. HARDCOVER, uniformly bound in the original publisher's cloth, bit rubbed in places. In a very good condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. An outstanding production. 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. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates in this set are very rare in book production, so much so in such superb quality. Reproduced extensively ever since the publication of the book, the grandeur of the original collotypes is breathtaking. Beinlich-Seeber 6273. FTV .
