Martino Fine Books. Undated cloth bound hardcover limited facsimile edition of the original 1880 French language edition of Les Elzevier: Histoire et Annales Typographiques by Alphonse Willems.

Included in this edition are Berghman's 1897 Supplement A L'Ouvrage sur Les Elzevier and Berghman's 1885 Etudes sur Bibliographie Elzevirienne.

Massive biography of the Elzevier family of Dutch booksellers, publishers, and printers of the 17th and early 18th centuries. Followed by a bibliography of 2,186 books and pamphlets published and printed by the family.

The duodecimo series of "Elzevirs" became very famous and very desirable among bibliophiles, who sought to obtain the tallest and freshest copies of these tiny books.

Very Good. A few spot stains to the page block edges that do not affect the interior pages. Solid binding and crisp, clean interior pages.
