A propos de cet article

Folio hardcover. Measures 10.5 x 16.5 inches. Bound in full leather now considerably scuffed and edgeworn, befitting a 200 year old American binding. Spine leather all but gone. Front cover detached but present. Frontispiece engraving detached but present. Title page detached as well, but set in place. Both of those pages have some chipping at the edges. The rest of the text block is tightly sewn, but in two sections -- pages 1-153 are in one block and 153 to 723 in another. Also at the rear are the instructions to the binder for the 60 plates & then 3 pages of Subscribers names (one of those pages is just Subscribers in Baltimore). All 60 plates are present and in the proper place. The folding map of Jerusalem has some tears and crinkles. Normal fading and foxing to pages and plates. All the plates say 'Engraved for the American edition.' This is the most extensively illustrated eighteenth century American book I can remember seeing. Text in double columns. Baltimore was never a publishing center in the United States. Books from Pechin's press are scarce - he published an edition of Jefferson's Notes on the state of Virginia in 1800. I cannot find anything published earlier than this volume - which would be a stupendous first effort by a young printer. Please email with questions or to request photos. This is a heavy book, so some extra shipping will be required.…
