Description: Limoges Ancienne Maison Dalpayrat et Depelley, éditeurs J. Depelley , et Cte Succ** [no date] [1920] 12mo, 98 x 64 mms., pp. [7] 8 -316 [317 - 320 index], including half-title with frontispiece on verso, four coloured illustrations measuring 80 x 48 mms. inserted between pages 128 and 129, bound in embossed bakelite or celluloid, with raised images on front cover, all edges gilt; front hinge cracked, paper a little browned, but a very good copy. These late 19th century prayer books bound in bakelite or celluloid - basically plastic - look a bit like ivory, but I don't think I've ever seen a book bound in genuine ivory. The inserted illustrations are not that common, nor is this particular example of a Paroissien Romain. OCLC locates only one copy in Spain, and two earlier examples from 1896.
