Original Half-Leather Binding Style of the "Codice Atlantico" [Milan. Hopeli, 1894-1904].

This is a photo of one of the six volumes of 
"Codice Atlantico" [Milan. Hopeli, 1894-1904] 
in its' original half-leather binding. It was decided
to create new late-19thC style bindings for this 
massive sized set, as the strength and life of
 these original bindings has all but perished.


The title page of Vol.II of the "Atlantico."

More to come soon ~
