Afbeeldingen Van De Kelldingen, Zeden En Gewoonten In Holland, Met Den Aanvang Der Negentiende Eeuw.
E Maaskamp, 1811. 3/4 Calf Binding. 4to. Bound in 3/4 Morocco in the French style in the last quarter of the 19th Century (ca 1880). Borders in double-rule gilt and finely tooled spine in six compartments with title in gilt. Marbled end-papers. Top edge gilt. Polyglott (Dutch & French) edition of traditional costume in Holland at the beginning of the 20th Century. Each of the 20 copper engravings has been wonderfully hand-colored. A watermark on the front of the top edge carries through most of the book leaving water-marks approximately 3/4' down and 3-4 inches wide. None of the text or the images is affected by this. Overall a very pleasing copy of a contemporary glimpse into Dutch life at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century. Very Good. Item #5306
