Bilderhefte zur Geschichte des Bücherhandels und der mit demselben verwandten Künste und Gewerbe / herausgegeben von Heinrich Lempertz
A German illustrated folio of 1853 published in Cöln by J.M. Heberle, edited by Heinrich Lempertz, assembling plates on the history of the book trade, printing, bookbinding and decoration for a bibliophile readership. The pictures are black-and-white engravings and woodcuts: an oval bust portrait with a laurel and floral cartouche, a fur-collared scholar in an oval frame, a page of engraved portraits and facsimile signatures, and a Renaissance woodcut ex libris with columns, a mitre and a coat of arms over a Latin inscription, useful for oval framing, cartouche borders and classical armorial layouts.
