Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839) was a Franco-German lithographer and chromolithographer, largely credited with bringing chromolithography to France. A wonderful and pristine binding by Lucien Broca, the superb and technically premier finisher of his day, who finished many of Sarah Prideaux's fine bindings. Bound in full rich navy blue crushed morocco with leaf and vine design work on both covers and similar designs on panels on spine, attractive dentelles with parallel ruling on endpapers. Bears Broca's personal gilt stamped pallet on front lower dentelle (scarce indeed), "BOUND BY L. BROCA." Book is fine. An extremely rare and sought after binding by the French-born bookbinder who worked more or less full-time with Sarah Prideaux around 1901, and really only solo'd a short couple of years before falling into ill-health. Fine copies of his signed bindings are vanishingly scarce. Slipcase with a bit of sunning and rubbing to the edges. book.…
