Item description from seller

Folio, 56 x 44 cm. 1st ed, published between 1792-1800. Rebound in moroccan leather over finely marbled boards. 92 stipple-engraved, color plates, some mounted, some on pink paper.

Perforated library stamp on title. Portraits of Hans Holbein and his wife trimmed at bottom edge. According to the Ray, "This Magnificent Work Is Surely The Finest Early Example Of English Color Printing." "In every way a splendid book, the colour printing reproducing with extraordinary fidelity the original designs . No copies were issued to the public until the stock was acquired many years later by Messrs. Bohn, who added them as a Supplement to copies of the earlier work." Abbey, Life 205 & 206; Ray English 19; Brunet III, 259-260 ('ouvrage magnifique'); Lewine pp. 243-4; Lowndes p. 405.
