[LITHOGRAPHY]. MAIRET, F. Notice sur la Lithographie. Deuxieme edition, suivie d'un Essai sur la Reliure et le blanchiment des livres et gravures. Chatillon-sur-Seine, 1824. 12o. 5 plates. (Some light, scattered spotting.) Contemporary roan-backed boards, gilt. A very nice copy. Half-morocco slipcase. Provenace: Jackson Burke. The second edition of a work first issued in 1818, for the purpose of giving a reliable account of the then new process of lithography. Both editions are rare, but it interesting that in the interval between them the author had become a renowned binder and thus added the material on this craft in the present edition.
