HUMPHREYS, H. NOEL. THE ART OF ILLUMINATION AND MISSAL PAINTING. A GUIDE TO MODERN ILLUMINATORS.
London H.G. Bohn 1849, Original white paper over heavily bevelled boards. Decorative, muticolored cover onlay, which is rubbed. Joints weak but intact. Covers soiled. This book is somewhat of an oddity, having no title page,text, printer's information or the student plates. Upon a side-by-side comparison with the first edition, discussed in McLean, it contains all twelve of the original chromolithographs, but in a different order. Additionally, the size of the volume indicates nothing has been excised. This, plus the plainess of the binding, leads us to believe that this was a publisher's dummy, intended for promotional purposes. While the volume is completely original we can find no discussion of a promotional copy. This duodecimo size (11.5 x 17cm) copy of this scare title has detached leaves from the so-called "perfect binding" . The binding is poor, however, plates are beautiful!. See McLean, pp.85,89,106,220.
