Query about frontispiece from old book
"CP Baudelaire" wrote in message oups.com... Thank you all so much guys. You have been very helpful and I really appreciate the time you've put in to help with this admittedly obscure request. If you have any other ideas, let me know. Youve given me some fascinating resources to look into. -Brian William M.

One of the reasons I like the AAS[MWA] catalog so much is that they almost always list the draftsman and the printmaker, as well as the names of all the craftsmen involved in a book including the printer and stereotyper. That gives their descriptions a lot of currency. They also will mention the changing address of any of these as an aid to establishing the issue or date of publication. I concur. The American Antiquarian Society's catalogue is a marvel. It is jam-packed with information. If your item falls within their purview, their catalogue is definitely worth checking out: http://www.americanantiquarian.org/library.htm William M.
