Amsterdam: Nico Israel, 1976 Folio (35 cm), 256 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear) "This is the first work in English on the entire production of an early illustrated book. The survival of page by page layouts for a book of the incunabula period, as well as the original contracts for its illustration,for its printing and for the allotment of profits and unsold books is unique to the Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493. Furthermore, the astonishing discovery in 1972 of preliminary woodcut drawings and layouts reveals the first steps in how the book was planned. 'The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle', which gathers into one volume all these factors, is a landmark in the study of incunabula." (from the blurb)
