<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3617951, member: 76440&quot;]I bought a Forni reprint of Haeberlin several years ago.&nbsp; Last year, I acquired (very cheaply) at auction a &quot;new old stock&quot; original of the&nbsp; text volume ONLY.&nbsp; It was literally brand new, as issued by the printer, with its pages still uncut after quarto folding and (temporary) card binding.&nbsp; Seller reported it was part of an old German book dealer&#039;s stock.&nbsp; That acquisition must have been fate, because a few weeks ago I acquired an original plate volume to complete my original set.&nbsp; The Forni reprint plates are very good.&nbsp; The original plates are better, and very slightly bigger&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, the originals are on heavier, excellent quality paper which must be nearly acid free, as they have not&nbsp; browned in over 100 years.&nbsp; The original plates have been bound, but each plate is individually hinged, so that they open flat.&nbsp; Some photos below.&nbsp; Last photo shows the difference between the reprint plates (in blue and white folder) and the original, bound plates.&nbsp; I&#039;ll likely sell my reprint plates, as I don&#039;t have room in my library for multiple, elephant folios!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]969377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]969378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]969381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
