Limited to 325 numbered copies, this work was printed by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press (Heaney B32) and features a historical introduction by Robert M. Goldwyn. Very minor wear to the corners of the paper-covered boards, else a fine copy.
The first edition of On Grafting Animals (Degli Innesti Animali) was printed in 1804 and was the first book on skin transplant. The type was set in San Francisco by Mackenzie-Harris Corp., printed on Arches mould-made paper from France, and bound by Gray Parrot in Easthampton, Mass. The type used here was designed by the celebrated Italian typographer Giambattista Bodoni, and the sidepapers are reproduced from a 19th century Italian paper.
