Anvers ( Antwerpen ) , G.Zazzarini éditeur, 1914, in-folio, 45 x 32 cm, (14) nn pp + 407 pp + (10) nn pp ( prospectus) + 37 plates h.t. with 59 copper engravings + 16 full page orig. woodcuts h.t. + 9 orig. culs-de-lampe + ca. 300 b/w ills. h.t. and in the text. (complete). This is copy 123 (out of 440) printed on high quality laid paper. Bound in a full leather (''veau d'Egypte brun''), both covers with intricate gilt and blind tooling. The gilt decoration consisting e.g. 4 rows of stylised peacock tails. Spine decorated with large floral motifs. Top edge gilt, marbled endpapers. Binding signed ''Berthe van Regemoorter'' . She was head of the bookbinding department of the famous institute for applied art ''Bois de la Cambre'' in Brussels. Binding with some minor damage at the lower end of the spine, overall some minor scratches, an unobtrusive discolouring in the form of a stain at the back cover. Notwithstanding these remarks still a good copy in an impressive binding. The book interior is very fine. Printed by the Antwerp master printer Buschmann, this is one of the 440 copies (printed after 60 handcoloured copies). Important, interesting and bibliophile publication in a unique edition on the history of the famous 16th century humanist printing press of Christopher Plantin and his successors who were active until 1876 when the premises, with the presses, the archives and the library became a museum. The museum is now a ''World Heritage'' site. A major interest of the book are the illustrations which were printed from the original copper plates and woodblocks which rest in the museum. They include etchings by Lucas van Leyden, Wierickx, the Galle family, Goltzius, Hogenberg, Pontius a.o. The illustrations were taken from famous publications such as Guicciardini's :''Discrittione di tutti i Paesi Bassi'', de la Serre's: ''Entrée de la Reyne-Mère du Roy très Chrestien dans les villes des Pays-Bas''.Title-pages designed by Rubens are also present. From the woodcuts we only mention 4 original chiaroscuro portrait prints by Goltzius from his : ''Icones Imperatorum, Antwerp, 1645 '' . The author Max Rooses was a famous art-historian and the first curator of the museum . Bibliographical note on the book. The book was printed in july 1914, war broke out in august , part of the publisher's shop, including some copies of this book, ( how many ??) were destroyed by German artillery in the autumn. Distribution started only in 1916. (see De Gulden Passer Yearbook 66-67 pp. 51-52.). Bibliographical note on the binding. In her study on the bindings of Berthe van Regemoorter ( E.Cockx-Indestege - N. Moerman, - Bib. Wittockiana, 2014) are listed 2 copies of this book bound by Regemoorter: Item R45 & item R166. Our copy could be this item 166. It is uncertain because the author could only identifiy the binding by some working notes of the binder. The spine decoration of our copy is simlar to item R48. (kept in a non-original box).
