0. Bruxelles, Musée du Livre, 1912 , in-4°, 28,5 x 21,5 cm, pp (324 - 348) +4 plates ( chromolithographic plates , each with a serpent with a printed caption. Plates numbered 232, 233, 234, 235 ). Leaves bound together with a silk tie, no wrapper ( as issued). This is the 23-24th issue ( fascicule in French) of the prestigeous Brussels' periodical devoted to the art of the book. It covers the whole subject : typography, lettering , binding, illustration...Its pre-war publications (before 1914) are rightly famous for the beautiful typographical execution. The project , animated by Henri Liebrecht, could rely on the aid of the main Brussels printing houses, paper and ink suppliers. ( e.g. Imprimerie Goossens, établ. Malvaux ...). This issue is a superbly illustrated report of the exhibition of fine bindings organised by ''Le Musée du Livre ''. Rare with the loose plates.
