Rebound in red cloth, black skiver lettering-piece (a collector’s binding). - Originally published as Le livre illustré en France au XVIe siècle (Paris 1930). Although the eleven chapters of introduction remain virtually unchanged, the catalogue is vastly expanded, from some 500 to nearly 700 entries, and the total illustrative material has nearly doubled.
