ENGRAVING PLATE AND CORRESPONDING BOOKLETS. S.XX

Description:
- Nice photogravure plate of one page of a booklet.
- It reads as follows: 'Description of the plausible royal festivities of luminaries general procession faces and bulls, with which the very noble and very loyal city of Seville, etc. Don Felipe V. Printed in Seville'.
- The plate is nailed with small nails around its perimeter, on a wooden base.
- On the edges of the wooden base, there is a stamp: Photoengraving. Pasaje de la Alhambra, 8. Madrid.
- On its perimeter there is a beautiful border with floral details.
- The plate is quite rare, as we have not found any book engraving plates. The most curious thing is that we have found two booklets whose covers correspond to the plate.
- The booklets, in red and black ink, are numbered and dated. Dated 1959, they are of a print run of 200 copies, numbered and nominated, and 7 unnumbered and unnominated. The first is No. 97, while the second is No. 158.
- One of them is partly unbound and the other is open.
- Paperback binding stitched.
- It is of great importance that the plate has some distinctive mark or contrast, in order to be able to identify data such as its creator, the place where it was printed and other details.

- The plate is in a very good state of preservation.
- The two booklets are complete and in very good condition.
