Maurice Hamel - Le Salon de 1890 - Somptueuse reliure de Petrus Ruban

Maurice Hamel, Le Salon de 1890. Paris, Ludovic Baschet, sd [1890]. In-folio (33 x 24.5 cm), 107 pp. Original edition, one of 28 copies on Japanese paper and more precisely one of 20 on Japanese with a suite of 24 engravings before the letter on Japanese paper (the other Japanese copies have the suite on satin or parchment). The work, besides its illustrated cover, comprises a very large number of engravings, namely: 26 engravings in the text, most in a single color (black, brownish), 2 in color 72 engravings hors-texte with legends 24 engravings hors-texte before the letter, each in a tone different from the tone of the caption The work is complete with all its engravings. Each year, there were several Parisian salons, and each had a more classical publication in in-12 or in-8 format and, as here, sometimes a very luxurious large-format publication. This edition was thus printed in 675 copies: 28 on Japan and 647 on Hollande, the latter without a suite. The finest copies were then bound by the masters of the time, as here with Petrus Ruban. Binding signed Petrus Ruban, full red morocco, very richly decorated, gilt edges on turn-ins. Some small scuffs, spine slightly browned. Sumptuous copy, a work of great quality
