Description
hand-coloured additional engraved title by J. Wandelaar with facing page of descriptive text, letterpress title printed in red & black, 12 hand-coloured plates by J.Punt, 18th century Dutch red morocco, elaborate gilt borders and panels with imperial coronet cornerpieces, gilt spine compartments within raised bands, g.e., marbled endpapers, [not in Landwehr], small 4to, Rotterdam, Jan Daniel Beman en Zoon , 1766. An excellent copy of Hoogvliet's biblical epic, with beautiful period hand-colouring and a splendid Dutch binding, presumably indicative of the contemporary owner's high social standing. We have been unable to locate another copy of any edition of the poem with full period hand-colouring to the plates. Provenance: J. G. R. Acquoy (1829-1896, signature).
