The reproduction shown above can be found in the online catalogue of La librairie Laurent Coulet (click here to see it) this catalogue is in a pdf file and the resultant reproduction not very sharp however as we have already looked at most of the tools used in the decoration of this binding, there rests only the pointing out of certain details that we have not seen before.

A word of Caution

Even experts are sometimes wrong, before you spend thousands on a book, please do your own research! Just because I say a certain binding can be attributed to le Maitre isn't any kind of guarantee, don't take my word for it, go a step further and get your own proof. In these pages I have provided you with a way of doing just that.
