I like complete sets, so I’ve been trying to put together the 12 book list of Bernard Quaritch reprints of rare books published between 1883 and 1892. I still have to locate what #4 is, but the rest are easily available at the Internet Archive. Only #2 and #3 are modelbucher (Pagano and Parasole) and it is a really eclectic mix. Number 1 and 5 aren’t ornament books, but the others all are. Most are probably intended for goldsmiths. Number 10 is decoration for arquebuses, which makes me laugh for some reason.
