What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
An unusual work, consisting of a book of photographic plates - many of which are in colour - of decorative confectionaries, a recipe book, and a portfolio containing stencils and tracing patterns. These three volumes are housed in the publisher's box containing also the very scarce sieve, brush, and tin of chocolate powder.
With numerous colour plates of confectionary delights and an accompanying work containing the recipes for these, alongside forty-four decorative stencils for use alongside the tools provided.
The work of German confectioner Adolf Heckmann.
