Description: Città del Vaticano, Tipografia Poliglotta Vaticana, 1951. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Small folio. Pp. viii, 170. Plus 89 plates with multiple images to each, all printed in superb collotype, bound at end. Title-page printed in red and black. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's duo-colour cloth, lettering-pieces to cover and spine, cloth bit discoloured. In a very good external condition, fine interior, crisp plates. ~ FIRST EDITION. Beautifully illustrated. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms.
