HERITAGE OF BORDERS, THE TYPE COLLECTION OF WENDELL KRIEG.
by Krieg, Wendell.
A collection of thousands of borders, ornaments, corners, embellishments, combination borders, frames, and grounds; some classically inspired, most delightfully rococo. Originally published with 400 pages and intended to add more plates from time to time. This copy has the first 400 pages still shrinkwrapped, plus pages 401-416 laid in along with fold-out preface, acknowledgements page, homage page and copyright page. All loosely enclosed in a stiff paper folding wrapper, with a preface describing and indexing the collection. Minor wear to outer wrapper.
