[Rarebooks] FS: Extra-Illustrated 1862 Italian Sculpture Catalog

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Robinson, J.C.  "South Kensington Museum. Italian Sculpture of the Middle
Ages and Period of the Revival of Art. A Descriptive Catalogue of the
Works Forming the Above Section of the Museum, with additional
Illustrative Notices"

London; Chapman and Hall: 1862.

An important and popular catalog which included a good survey of
Florentine sculpture, sections on Michelangelo and della Robbia, and
sculptural elements besides figural pieces, such as tombs, tabernacles and
chimney pieces. This example is from the extra-illustrated edition, which,
as Hamber notes in ‘A Higher Branch of the Art’, “included up to twelve
albumen prints... curiously the photographs used for these
extra-illustrated editions frequently duplicated the existing
line-engraved illustrations”.

Hardcover. 6.5"x10", xxxi + 192 pages, 20 lithographed plates and 11
mounted albumen plates; publisher's extremely handsome full gilt-stamped
morocco; covers with a little wear and rubbing; a little internal soil;
mounted plates quite nice and unfaded; bookplate showing this was given as
the Queen’s Prize for modeling from the Antique in the National
Art-competition in 1866. [30324]  $250.00
