A Marbling Rarity - the first illustrated edition

(Marbling) Halfer, Josef DIE FORTSCHRITTE DER MARMORIERKUNST. EIN PRAKTISCHES HANDBUCH FUR BUCHBINDER UND BUNTPAPIERFABRIKANTEN.
Nach technisch-wissenschaftlichen grundlagen bearbeitet von Josef Halfer, Buchbinder in Budapest. II. Verbesserte und vermehrte auflage. Mit anhang verzierung der buchsnitte. Stuttgart Wilhelm Leo 1891 8vo. later half red calf with marbled paper covered boards, five raised bands, top edge gilt (a signed binding by Zaehnsdorf). 224 pages with 5 leaves of single mounted marbled paper specimens + 5 leaves each with 6 mounted marbled paper specimens
Text in German. Second edition--the first to be illustrated--of this seminal work on marbling by the Budapest based bookbinder and marbler, Josef Halfer. It was first published, without specimen papers in 1885. "The Halfer system is so important that marbling history is broken at this point, and referred to as pre-Halferian and post-Halferian marbling. The advantages of the Halfer system were two-fold: freed of the laborious preparation of colors, and with standardized colors, marblers could produce more work; and secondly, the use of carragheen size allowed finer detail in marbling" (Easton, Marbling, A History, pp. 78-9). See also R. Wolfe, Marbled Paper, 1990, pp. 124-30. From the reference library of the Zaehnsdorf Company with a commemorative booklabel loosely inserted. With the bookplate of the Zaehnsdorf Company. Tipped-in is a two page A.L.S. written by Richard Leo (see publisher), dated January 26, 1891. Addressed to a Mr. Zaehnsdorf, the A.L.S. expresses Leo's desire to leave Stuttgart and visit Zaehnsdorf. Rubbed along hinges and soiling along edges.

Miller, Julia BOOKS WILL SPEAK PLAIN: A HANDBOOK FOR IDENTIFYING AND DESCRIBING HISTORICAL BINDINGS
Ann Arbor, MI Legacy Press 2010 8vo cloth, dust jacket 528 pages, 374 illustrations
Books Will Speak Plain is published at a time when the historical book is at risk of being ignored, put away, and forgotten. This handbook combines an overview of the history of the codex with basic information about many of the materials and structures found on historical bindings. The book also includes description-survey guidelines and is supported by a variety of appendices. The book's focus on primarily non-luxury bindings adds depth to an often-neglected segment of the history of bookbinding.
Preservation is at the heart of Books Will Speak Plain. We have already lost too many historical bindings because their importance was not understood and appreciated. This book is a call to action to urge custodians of every kind of historical book collection, public, and private, to assess the physical character of the historical bindings in their care and record the changes that have accrued to those bindings during their passage through time.
This book is a resource that can be used to recognize binding variations that have long been overlooked and to document such bindings for future scholars. All bibliophiles, including book-binders, curators, private collectors, librarians, catalogers, antiquarian book-sellers, scholars of the book, and conservators, will find this an invaluable reference. Books Will Speak Plain is also a useful textbook for students enrolled in academic courses in the history of the book and book conservation, and in practical bookbinding. Photography: J. Wayne Jones - Drawings: Pamela Spitzmueller.
