Description

rel. en simili vélin, plat décoré d’un blason avec la devise « Pleno syder plenæ », 9 reproductions de Fac-similés de lettres manuscrites, contre-collés et hors-texte, (qq. rousseurs), bon état Recueil de Fac-similés de reliques, de valeur inestimable, de l’histoire du Royaume-Uni. « THERE can be no more moving appeal to the imagination than that of a collection of autographs. Whereas the printed page, with its cold formality, masks the author’s individuality, his handwriting in almost a part of himself. It is an instrument equalled only by the voice in its power to reveal the strongest emotions and most secret thoughts. Mementoes of a glorious or tragic past, such documents, reflecting with the truthfulness of a mirror relics of priceless worth, call up before our wondering eyes the mighty pageants of history. »
