BAUMAN, Jindrich. Cremona housle a jejich stavb
Kladno: Josefa Solce, 1899. 8vo. text & 4to. atlas: pp. 1 plate, x, 191pp; plus Atlas volume of [5pp], then 23 folding plates (folding once) of famous violins from the 16th-19th centuries.
Bboth volumes bound together in one volume (12"x8"), the text volume being quite short, about 8" tall.
This is an "academic" copy, being in Fair condition, at best. Nearly all the plates are detached at the folds, and are in need of repair. The book is ex-library, with assorted stamps, though it was very nicely preserved in a two-part solander and clamshell case done up in buckram.
Here'a the list of folding plates:
There seems to be only one other copy online, available at about $700. This copy is till usable but not I would say to be in collectible condition. Given its rarity and usefulness, and then subtracting for condition, I think the price on these volumes should be $275.
