Product's description

Full calf venetian binding.
(10), 258 numbered pages (including title page).
Beautiful copy of the first edition, first issue, half-title, allegorical
frontispiece, decorated frontispiece and portrait of Maria Teresa. Twenty
plates by Piazzetta engraved out of the text.
Andrew Robison: "Nothing will be lacking, neither in the correctness of
the text, nor in the quality of the type, and of the paper: but above all I
have endeavored to distinguish my edition with the singularity and
perfection of more than sixty plates, all of different designs, drawn by
the celebrated painter Piazzetta, and incised in copper by the most
talented engravers. This printing will satisfy not only the poets, but also
the painters, and the sculptors; and I expect that so many, and such fine
ornamentations may never again be seen in any book".
Excellent copy.
