Rare Books
A set of 23 volumes containing the works of Francesco and Giovanni Battista Pirenasei uniformly bound in red half morocco over marbled boards by Tessler, of Rue de la Harpe, Paris. Each volume also has a presntation bookplate to the Architectural League of New York from Mr. C.H. Seuff, April 1897, with their shelf marks. The 23rd volume is labeled "24" on the spine and it is not clear if the set was originally 24 volumes, or if v.23 was simply mislabeled. The plates of Carceri d’invenzione were separated from v.8 and are housed separately in a folder. The 23 volumes and the folder of Carceri d'invenzione plates have been collated and copy of the details may be found in the Provenance File in Rare Books. 3 volumes with the bookplate "The property of the Merrymount Press, Boston" were added to this set as volumes 25-27. They are numbered on their spines "VIII", "IX" and "X". These volumes duplicate titles already in the original set, but their contents have not been fully collated.
