Esemplare nr. 158 di una tiratura di 300 copie numerateEsemplare in tiratura di pregio - stampata in sole 300 copie, e di cui sono qui conservate le brossure originali - della prima edizione della bibliografia magistralmente allestita da uno dei più celebri studiosi del libro illustrato italiano, e veneziano in particolare: il principe Victor Masséna d'Essling (1836-1910). Un'opera indispensabile che ha posto d'onore negli scaffali delle biblioteche, degli antiquari, dei collezionisti. Essling stesso fu un grande e raffinato collezionista di libri illustrati, e la sua raccolta fu in gran parte acquisita da Vittorio Cini (vedi lotto 14), ed è oggi conservata presso la Fondazione Cini di Venezia. I volumi furono impressi con eccezionale cura nella tipografia parigina Typographie de Frazier-Soye di Alexandre Brande, su carta fabbricata a mano du Marais. "Prince d'Essling, grandson of Andrea Masséna, Napoleon's ablest marshal, and son of a passionate book collector, Prince François-Victor, assembled a vast collection of early Venetian woodcut books which served as the basis for his bibliography of Venetian illustrated books 1450-1525 (preceded by the description of a xylographic book and followed by a summary list of some noteworthy later volumes). It is the most exhaustive bibliographical study of illustrated books of any place, country, or period hitherto published and set new standards for descriptions." (B.H. Breslauer - R. Folter, Bibliography, its History and Development, New York 1984, no. 144, pp. 186-187). La bibliografia di Essling fu esposta nel 1981 presso il Grolier Club di New York, in occasione della mostra "2000 Years of Bibliography".One work in 6 volumes (390x285 mm). Title-pages in red and black, within an elaborate woodcut border. The six volumes include over 2,000 vignettes and full-page illustrations in the text; 74 plates hors texte (some coloured) hand-printed by H. Navilles-Banos, each protected by tissue paper bearing a printed caption. Woodcut initials on black ground. Exceptional deluxe copy, printed on strong paper. Uniformly bound in red half-morocco, marbled covers. Spines with title, volume numbering, and date of publication lettered. Marbled pastedowns and flyleaves. Head-edge gilt, the others uncut. Original publisher's illustrated wrappers preserved inside, including the spines illustrated with four woodcut vignettes; title in red and black on each upper wrapper, within elaborate woodcut border, and hand-coloured arms of the Republic of Venice. Wrappers slightly dusted and spotted. This is no. 158 of a limited edition of 300 numbered copies.Deluxe copy - complete with the original publisher's wrappers - of the first edition of the bibliography compiled by the outstanding scholar Victor Masséna Prince d'Essling (1836-1910). A fundamental work which has a place of honour in the shelves of libraries, antiquarian bookshops, and private collections. Essling himself was a great and refined collector of illustrated books: his collection was mostly acquired by Vittorio Cini (see lot 14), and is now preserved in the Fondazione Cini at Venice. The deluxe issue - one of the most luxurious bibliographies ever appeared, and printed in a limited edition of only 300 copies - was finely printed by Alexandre Brande on hand-made paper du Marais. A copy of Essling's Les livres à figures vénitiens was displayed in 1981 at the Grolier Club's exhibition "2000 Years of Bibliography". "Prince d'Essling, grandson of Andrea Masséna, Napoleon's ablest marshal, and son of a passionate book collector, Prince François-Victor, assembled a vast collection of early Venetian woodcut books which served as the basis for his bibliography of Venetian illustrated books 1450-1525 (preceded by the description of a xylographic book and followed by a summary list of some noteworthy later volumes).
