About This Item

Prag, Selbstverlag. Printed for the Author by Carl Bellmann; Leipzig, Karl W. Hiersemann, 1896. 1st Edition . Hardcover. .. Thick crown quarto. Pp. (viii), 631. Plus 48 fine collotype plates, almost all with multiple images to each, with facing tissue guards. With 48 woodcut illustrations to text. Half-title present. HARDCOVER, bound in full cloth, with the original printed wrapper, slightly soiled, laid-down. In fine condition. Excellent copy in exceptional state of preservation. ~ FIRST EDITION. Comprehensive reference work on early fencing treatises. Beautifully illustrated. 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. Hergsell has published this outstanding work himself. It was later adopted by the publishing house of Karl W. Hiersemann, of Leipzig, who added their stamp to title-page. ~ Provenance: from the Rainer Köbelin Historisches Fechtarchiv, München, with a small, elegant bookplate to that effect. I-3
