About This Item
Paris. Softcover. Good. 4to 11" - 13" tall. E. Collin. Scarce in the trade, there being currently no copies available on-line of this short treatise, which is translated into English from French as "Of the Zodiac Represented on the Church of Strasbourg," and with several duotone engravings, quite fine, including in fold-out, representing signs of the Zodiac. They depict scenes of agriculture and oenophilia, including grapes-stomping, animal-husbandry and a Janus-faced man eating bread but sans his right arm below the elbow. Oddly, many figures are missing a limb or have had such amputated, not all, but many. Disbound from a larger volume, hand-sewn, complete, but with some beginning separation at spine, with slightly waffly text, rag paper is lightly foxed here and there, else clean and unmarked. French language text, with 1-14 pp. and then with several arresting plates.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
