Woodcut printer’s device, woodcut initials (some leaves toned with spotting around the edges, some dampstaining, one blank corner repaired). Modern brown morocco (superficial wear at upper joint). Provenance: George Kloss (1787-1854, bibliographer; his sale, Sotheby’s, 7 May 1835, lot 1659) – acquired from Lathrop C. Harper, Inc, 30 June 1955.
