This is a very carefully curated publication with 37 of Dürer's iconic woodcuts - displayed within a visually very appealing book with gilt titles along the spine, light umber cloth boards, top edge gilt and uncut pages. Top edge gilt. According to the Introduction, the publishers have attempted to repeat as nearly as possible the second edition of 1511 of Dürer's Passion; with the blocks used being those employed by Sir Henry Cole (Director of South Kensington Museum/now the Victoria and Albert Museum) in his issues of 1844 and 1870. In addition, this book was printed by the Chiswick Press which possessed 'a fount of type which closely approximates to that used in Nuremberg press, being probably, in common with that, derived from a Venetian model…' Condition (external): cloth boards have a little bending/minor fraying at the edges. Likewise, some slight fraying at the head of the spine. Condition (internal): mild to moderate tanning throughout; with occasional foxing. This is more apparent on the book's preliminary and final pages. See, for example, the image of the frontispiece's tissue guard. A couple pages (cf image of The Nativity V page) have some fraying and small sections at the margins missing. The FFEP has an ink inscription dated Xmas 1896 (image). pp. 13 (intro). The rest is unpaginated. 12mo (large). The front pastedown has a tipped in label: Tabley House Library. In case of interest we have included a post card relating to the book’s provenance before email etc was widely adopted by commerce. Please note that, depending on destination, we may request a payment to cover any extra shipping & postage charges. Proceeds to Amnesty International.
