Item description from seller

Elephant sized, embossed leather portfolio with copper gilt clasps. 7 fascicules within, each printed upon large paper imported from Italy. 51 pp. + [7], 22 tipped-in color plates each with elaborate border. Binding suffers from dried leather along spine. Minor discoloration to the paper at the extreme corners, contents VG+. Sheets measure 22.5" x 14.75" and plates are firmly attached. This edition is limited to 500 copies, of which this is No. 183. Oakley spent 16 years completing the murals at The State Capital in Harrisburg, PA and this volume celebrates these artistic endeavors, although the pictures in this beautiful book can't begin to convey the beauty of the originals. A masterful example of bookmaking. Requires a new spine to be made to connect the two board covers, which also exhibit extensive wear. Contents are clean and bright and collated complete. Includes a list of subscribers at the end, several pages long. See notes. Ex art library copy with small label at base of spine, and small bookplate inside front cover.…
