(binding dustsoiled and a bit discoloured, some wear at the extremities, especially at top and end of spine - some loss of material here). Interior in perfect stainless condition. This prestigious publication, printed on heavy Dutch paper was published one year after the famous Plantin Press in Antwerp (now World Heritage) became a museum. The editor of this album, also the first curator of the museum collected from the rich holdings 35 engraved copper plates, These original plates were used to print the title pages of a series of 17t c. publications by the Plantin Press. 5 plates are portraits. The engravings are printed from the original copper plates by the master printer Buschmann.. Engravers are e.g.; Lucas Vorsterman, Cornelis Galle a.o.. The commentary by the curator of the Museum and eminent Rubens specialist is based on the rich archives of the museum and includes transcripts of the originals invoices of Rubens and the engravers for these beautiful baroque title pages and portraits. The sitters for the portraits are ; Leonardus Lessius , King Philip IV of Spain , Johan van Havre , Pope Urbanus VIII , Justus Lipsius. This unique reprint from the original plates , designed by Rubens, was certainly intended to put the museum and its rich contents into the eye of the art-and book lover. Modern conservation-and museum management practice surely prohibits forever a re-issue of this fine album."

(Tail turn-in of one volume slightly torn, one vol. very slightly loose in binding, some slight soiling and thumbingat a few pages but still a nice and impressive set in a contemporary luxury binding). A rare complete set of a late 18th century liturgical edition by the Antwerp Plantin Press, illustrated with full page copperengravings, printed throughout in red and black, with vignettes and tailends printed either in red or black from woodengravings. The breviary was one of the most important liturgical books in the Roman catholic church. These in-4° editions served for the daily readings by the religious communities. Because of this daily manipulating and the rather regularly changings of the texts, which led to the discarting of outdated versions; complete and good copies of pre-1800 breviaries are very rare,even more so in a luxury binding."
