About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company., 1916. Hamerton's important history and account of the methods of etching, first published in 1866; here in a later American edition. "The first edition of this work has been for some time exhausted, and copies of it are only to be had occasionally from dealers in rare books, at fancy prices." Illustrated by the author with 12 genuine etchings, mostly after the works of great artists; intended to show how the process works, rather than to be mere ornaments. Rebound in half deep green morocco over decorated boards with matching endsheets, gilt top edge. The binding is unsigned, but it is quality work, likely by a Chicago binder in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Unique thus. Light wear, one corner bumped, spine faded, front board tanned. Text clean; [xxxi], blank, 459 pages; technical appendix.. Later Edition. Half Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. 6½" by 9½".
