Lacroix, Paul · Paris

Author
Lacroix, Paul
Date
1877
Place
Paris
Publisher
Librairie de Firmin-Didot et Cie.
Language
English
Binding
4to. 1/4 full brown calf with large tips, marbled covers and marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. Spine with 5 raised bands and gilt author & title in second compartment.
Format
First edition, magnificently illustrated with 13 chromolithographs and 400 in-text engravings. We owe it to Paul Jacob, who was a great bibliophile, a writer and scholar, and the curator of the Arsenal library. If the whole series has become a great classic in the field, it is because it happily combines the work of an editor, printer, binder, history, illustrators, documentation, and few books have finally achieved this amalgam that we owe to Firmin-Didot, at a time when the book had become very mediocre. Note the presence in the sciences of the STUDY of ALCHEMY and OCCUYLT SCIENCES, and a chapter on heraldry.
