72046Frankfurt am Main Heinrich Keller 1879. Oblong folio 26.9 x 37.0 cm. 93 mounted collotypes each oblong ca. 8.5 x 12.5 cm on larger printed sheets. Original portfolio of quarter pebbled cloth over plain boards. Printed label mounted on front board. = An exceedingly rare complete collection of collotype prints after original photographs of price-winning dogs at a dog show in Hannover Germany. The images are excellent: very natural in detail and contrast and carefully mounted on printed sheets with additional information including the dog's name breed and owner. The photos were made by the brothers Wunder in Hannover. Plates loose apparently as issued. Slightly uniformly age-toned - a bit stronger near the edges; a few creases and an occasional spot but generally clean. Covers rubbed especially at corners and spine ends. The paper on which the photographs are mounted is generally age-toned. Some outer margins of plates chipped and slightly brittle first plate professionally restored. A true rarity; OCLC WorldCat reports just two copies in libraries worldwide: one in Zürich lacking plates 27 30-34 37-44 47-49 56 78 93 and only one complete copy in Williamsburg VA. Not in any major bibliography. hardcover
