The Life and Works of Jean Leon Gerome (Missing Plates)
   
Author: Hering, Fanny Field; St. Gaude Illust: Gerome, Jean Leon         $299.50
NY Cassell Publishing Co. 1892 Embossed Cloth Good- First Edition 17 1/2in. H x 14in. W.
A very nice but incomplete copy of this massive work. 288 pages, 13 of 20 original photogravures, 20 of 25 original photo-engravings, 50 sketches in the text. Some of the plates show normal soiling along the extra wide borders from being handled by people, the centered images are still very good. Cloth is stained and worn in spots. Hinges are cracked, interior pages have no major problems-no dampstains, etc and show very nicely. Since this book cannot reasonably be restored it is an excellent candidate for plate removal. Gerome's subjects center around Christian, secular middle eastern and Roman, and some French themes. Book weighs just over 12 pounds.
