 OR WITH CATALOGUE OF I483 ITEMS, TWO SHILLINGS. 
 
These 250 FACSIMILE REPRODUCTIONS OF EARLY 
 WOODCUTS, comprising many of the most representative 
 examples of Book Illustration and Ornament of the 15th. and 
 16th centuries (Germany, Rome and Venice), are intended to 
 accompany our CATALOGUE OF EARLY PRINTED 
 BOOKS arranged by PRESSES (items I to 1476) to which the 
 facsimiles serve as a sort of Index, The reproductions are 
 from photographs taken direct from the books described in 
 that Catalogue, every care being taken to preserve the actual 
 appearance of the originals as regards condition of the blocks, 
 &c. All reductions in size are indicated, with the dimensions 
 of the original in millimetres, height preceding width. 
 
 To Private Collectors and Public Libraries interested in the 
 early history of Typography, the fact hardly requires pointing 
 out that to reassemble an extensive series of books equal in im- 
 portance to that here described and illustrated — selected as they 
 are from all the most important Libraries that have been dis- 
 persed by auction and otherwise during recent years — would 
 involve much expenditure of time and trouble in searching and 
 waiting for items, many of which indeed may not again be met 
 with. It is obvious then that these examples, together with 
 the others which we have in stock and intend to catalogue 
 in due course (viz., books printed in Italian provincial towns, 
 in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain and 
 England) would, as a large and important nucleus of a really 
 representative collection, be worthy the consideration of anyone 
 desirous of bringing together an assemblage of early books 
 with the object of illustrating the progress of the ART OF 
 PRINTING during the first hundred years or more from its 
 inception.
