About This Item
Stuttgart: Carl Hoffmann, 1840. Hardcover. . Very Good. An early example of a quintessential German color plate book created for a juvenile audience, pedagogical in nature, with wonderful color plates printed on thin, cheap paper, and published under various imprints in or around Stuttgart. Small folio, 37 by 24 cm. Title leaf, Vorwart leaf, with preface by Zoller, followed by 29 hand-colored plates, and world map (two hemisphere maps on this plate). Each plate accompanied by facing page explanation (Erklaerung). Printing on one side of each leaf -- versos for plates, rectos for explanations. Condition: re-cased, with original pictorial pastedown on boards preserved and pasted onto new boards, these pastedowns suffering minimal loss along edges. These pastedowns do have stains and soil, but remain more than acceptable in their appearance. New endpapers. Slight cocking of the binding -- front overhangs slightly rear. Scattered soiling of the leaves within. Never does this rise to a disconcerting level. Other typical, non-disturbing wear.
