Der Bilderschmuck der Frühdrucke.

19 vol. (1-18 & 20, out of 23), folio.

Half leather, flat spine. Nice set.

Each volume of "Der Bilderschmuck der Frühdrucke" is complete in itself. This life's work of the German bibliographer Albert Schramm (1880-1937) is still a fundamental reference tool for the study of early printing and illustrated incunables in Germany. This set includes the work of the most important German 15th-c. printers, Albrecht Pfister, Koberger, Fust und Schöffer, e.o.
