In Boards as Issued
Title
In Boards as Issued
Description
It was not uncommon for technical works such as Bakker’s Osteographia piscium (1822) to be issued with a large atlas of plates and a small volume of explanatory text. Over time, it is not uncommon for plate and text volumes to become separated. Although I purchased these two volumes at different times, marrying them to complete the set, both are in their original publisher’s boards and make quite a nice pair. They are now housed together in a custom slipcase.
