HAÜY, Valentin (1745-1822). Essai sur l'e´ducation des aveugles. Paris: les Enfans-Aveugles, 1786.
The first printed book for the blind. ‘Valentin Haüy invented the first system of printing for the blind, consisting of a special large type, slightly different in shape from ordinary italic, which was embossed on heavy paper to be traced by the fingers’ (Norman). His Essai sur l’education des aveugles ‘showcased his system of printing for the blind while at the same time proving its efficacy, since the book was printed by Haüy’s blind students under the direction of the royal printer Clousier’. Garrison-Morton 5833; Norman 1023.
Quarto (245 x 190mm). Leaves 1-2 and 3-4 of A-2C4 pasted together to form 2 thick leaves, as issued, with an additional loosely inserted ‘Extrait des registres’ dated 13 January 1787 (lacking the ‘avis’ leaf, the ‘table’ leaf loose). Contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt (slightly rubbed, lacking lettering piece).
