" Anvers, s.d. (ca. 1877), in-4°, 31 x 22 cm, 29 pp + 16 photoplates (collotypes) h.t., publisher's decorated cloth binding, all edges gilt, silky endpapers . The front cover shows a red centre piece with coat of arms containing the text: Musée Plantin-Moretus à Anvers; within a green surrounding; Slightly disbound copy (due to the thick boards) and with some sparse foxing spots. This is surely the very first edition of this book published on the occasion of the opening of the Plantin-Museum. In this copy the illustration are called by the publisher ''Photo-Autotypies'' . (collotype in English) The collotypes are printed separately from glass plates and mounted on stiff boards with printed captions and red printed fillet borders. In fact they are still in a way real photographs. In later editions of this work the illustrations are called ''Phototypies'' and are printed directly on the book pages. (probably in some sort of half-tone process) The later editions contained also more illustrations, as they would be much cheaper to produce.."

" Anvers, s.d. (ca. 1877), in-4°, 31 x 22 cm, 44 pp + 28 phototypies h.t., publisher's decorated cloth binding, edges gilt, silky endpapers. The front cover shows in a large red centre piece the gilt reproduction of one of the more elaborate Plantin's printer's marks; within a green surrounding. Very nice copy with nicely preserved fresh publisher's binding. This is most probably the second edition of this illustrated description of the new Plantin-Moretus Museum. We handled the very first edition where the plates were real collotypes (only 16 ) In this copy the illustrations are now called 'phototypies' and are printed directly on the book pages. (probably in some sort of half-tone process) There are now 28 plates due certainly to the cheaper reproduction process..Very well preserved copy."
