It was meant for private circulation and printed in France.
No expense was spared to created this superb volume to honor the glory and collecting acumen of the financier J.P.Morgan. The first copy from Mr. Morgan's Library (MML) bears the same light brown calf binding by Pagnant as this excellent and scarce copy.
