The fourth and most extensive edition, expanded from the original edition of 1645 by the noted engraver Cochin. (Cicognara 255. Bigmore / W. 72. Cohen / R. 177). When issued in 1645, the work was "notable for its completeness for the time of its production, and for its plates, which have been reproduced by most subsequent writers on the art." This edition has additions by Jombert and Cochin, of Bosse's classic work on engraving procedure and history. With an engraved frontispiece and 21 foldout plates. Shelfwear, as well as wear to the spines. Else a near fine copy of this very scarce work.
