About This Item
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Professional bound catalogue in dark blue buckram covered heavy boards with gilt spinal title. Pages are all equally tanned. Tissue guards for all plates. A very nice presentation of an important work compiled and printed at or right after the author's death in 1928. The whole shows only very slight shelf and edge wear, with a hint of soiling to page edges from resting. .
