Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Together two volumes. LIMITED EDITION designed by Jan van Krimpen, each is one of 1500 numbered copies SIGNED BY VAN KRIMPEN. Both volumes with the same limitation number, rarely encountered thus. The type beautifully hand-set in van Krimpen's Romanée typeface, which was premiered here in these two volumes, and printed on fine Dutch water-marked paper. 4to, publisher's full cloth, that of the Iliad being bound in red cloth while Odyssey is bound in blue cloth, the spines lettered in gilt, top edges gilt while the others remain untrimmed, in the original slipcases of yellow paper-backed boards with cream labels printed in black. xxxviii,706; [5]; xiv, 548, [3] pp. A handsome set, internally both volumes are as new and pristine and largely unopened, the bindings strong and sturdy, hinges firm, the cloth with no wear or bumping, very slight mellowing to the spine.

Each of the two volumes is signed by van Krimpen and numbered on the colophon.…
