The printed book, its history, illustration, and adornment, from the days of Gutenberg to the present time
A survey of printing and book decoration by Henri Bouchot, translated and edited by E. C. Bigmore and issued in London in 1887 for collectors and students of the book trade. Its 122 line facsimiles reproduce early woodcut title-pages, printers' marks, borders and initials, useful for heraldic shields, banderole mottoes, foliate frames and figures in leafy grotesque surrounds.
