Description
Brussels Jean Joseph Boucherie, [1759]. 8vo., full crushed burgundy morocco with a double gilt fillet border surrounding a narrow scalloped border. Spine with five raised bands and understated gilt decoration, title on a black morocco label; a.e.g. The bottom margin of the title has been cut away as has the bottom margin of D1; bookplate removed from the front pastedown. A curious and attractive BOOK OF HOURS displaying a number of different typefaces used in combination. For the most part, the type is a very legible script that takes on the appearance of handwriting. Interspersed for emphasis is a standard roman typeface of no special distinction; at the end, though, and in one place at the beginning the printer inserts a form of CIVILITÉ for several pages. The Litanies begin with a woodcut of Heaven, and there are numerous woodcut-decorated initial letters, headpieces and tailpieces. An altogether attractive 18th century book. NICELY BOUND, TYPOGRAPHICALLY INTERESTING
