My weekend purchase in Aberfeldy. A nice little bit of two colour printing with varying degrees of success in registration. A presumably 18c Scottish provenance to boot. ESTC T99243
Hand holds open a book. Title page has Latin text printed with alternating black and red lines. Reads:” P Ovidii Epistolarum Heroidum…” printed in London in 1722. The facing page has a handwritten ownership inscription,” Ex Libris Gulielmus Campbelli” Close up of first leaf of the same book. In Latin title reads “Lectoris”. A red and black printed decorative roll at head of page. First letter with factotum printed in red with initial H for Habes
