Message:: [QUOTE="Debora, post: 11032120, member: 1476"]This the translation of the description of the example linked above. "Fratelli Alinari, Florence, 1990. Facsimile of the Paris edition (circa 1851), produced using the ancient artisanal "collotype" process by the Fratelli Alinari Art Printing House, in a limited edition of 500 copies. Ours is copy no. CXIII. Maximum format 43 x 62 cm (binding) and 41.5 x 60.5 cm (plates). The first blank following the frontispiece bears the dedication "To the Illustrious Sir Cav. Avv. Anton Giuseppe Mochi. In token of esteem and friendship. Livorno 24 June 1857. Count Larderel", followed by the first plate with the portrait of the Count. Since this is a facsimile publication and therefore a reprint, we specify that the size of each plate respects that of the original plate and that the plates also show the same signs of yellowing as the originals. Leg. Made of brown canvas with the word "Album" printed in gold and embossed with brushstrokes. François Jacques de Larderel (Vienne, 1790 – Florence, 1858) was a French engineer and entrepreneur who promoted the industrial exploitation of the boraciferous fumaroles of Tuscany, in the hamlet of the municipality of Pomarance in the province of Pisa; the area involved is currently known as the Larderello zone. It is in good condition." Debora[/QUOTE]
