Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Dust Jacket. 1st Edition. LRG 039445 This is a lovely book, a limited edition, #160/360 printed on hand-made special paper made by J.W. Zanders and printed in the new Preissig Typ at the State Printing Office in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1930 and distributed by Random House. It includes a wonderful birds eye view of the grave of Benjamin Franklin surrounded by the tall building of Center City Philadelphia, designed by Vojtech Preissig using linocutting and making color plates without acid or tool. The color is quite stunning. Preissig also signed the limitation page. There are also several different very handsome illustrative "devices" -"hinges" on the front free endpapers and on the inside edge of the boards. On the pages with printing on them, there is a "margin" that delineates the text block and it is punctuated by a third device. The spine is covered with cloth and the boards with a grainy paper. There is some soiling to the boards and a little bit inside. The book was in a box which did a good job of protecting this large (12 x 15.5 inches) book but the box paid the price and is broken at top and bottom but been repaired with tape to some extent.
