[Italien und seine Bewohner. Vienna: n.d. but c. 1840.]

An extremely rare suite of plates recording the various costumes typical to the different regions of Italy. Each plate is accompanied by a descriptive text in German offering further information on the typical customs, trade and geographical attributes of the locales depicted. Now the Lipperheide copy is lost, research has only drawn up one further known copy housed at the Österreichische akademie der wissenschaften (Austrian Academy of Sciences) in Vienna. Their record suggests the present publication was originally intended to be part I of a larger series titled Panorama aller Völker Europas, however the lack of other known parts suggests that this plan never came to fruition and the series was ultimately scrapped. Bobins IV, 1234; Lipperheide 1283, now ‘verloren’.



Oblong folio (313 x 509mm).14 numbered lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand (spotting and staining heaviest to letterpress, large crease to p.3, hole affecting text and image of pp.1-6, and plates 1 and 2, large tear to pp.12 and 13 repaired on p.13 with tape). Contemporary brown half cloth over brown mottled boards, spine gilt, leaves on mounts (extremities rubbed, lower board peeling at lower edge and with some staining, hinge split and weak but not loose, joint starting to split at head and foot of spine).
