[Rarebooks] FS: Massive Book on Antique Pewter in Geneva -Ltd. edition.

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"L'Etain et le Livre des Potiers d'Etain Genevois"

By Ernest Naef. Published in Geneva by S.A. des Editions "Sonor": 1920.
Edition limited to 385 numbered copies, plus 35 special copies; this one
of the 385, but unnumbered.

A massive study of the 16th-19th century pewter and pewterers of Geneva.
Complete with large b/w plates, marks, history and pewterers biographies,
and a bibliography. There may well have been a larger, more sumptuous tome
dedicated to this subject, but I've never seen it.

Hardcover. 10"x13", 290 pages, 24 black & white plates plus other black &
white and line illustrations. Bound in handsome quarter leather and linen;
ribbed spine, gilt titles, marbled endpapers. A little light wear, two
linear scuffs on the cover, but otherwise tight, neat and clean. $400
