Glass.- Gedde (Walter) A Booke of Sundry Draughtes, principally serving for Glasiers: And not Impertinent for Plasterers, and Gardiners...whereunto is annexed the manner how to anniel in Glas..., first edition, title and 2 part-titles with decorative woodcut borders, over 110 woodcut illustrations and decorations, most full-page designs for leaded windows, lacking folding woodcut plate (as usual), C1 misbound after C3, washed but still a little soiled and stained, cropped affecting a few signatures, first and last few leaves trimmed at inner margin and mounted on stubs, engraved bookplate of Geo.Tho. Robinson, later calf, gilt, rubbed, [Berlin Kat. 256], small 4to, by Walter Dight, 1615.

⁂ Very rare pattern-book for glaziers. We have been able to trace only one copy sold at auction, in 1934. ESTC lists 6 UK copies (BL, Cambridge University & Magdalene College, Glasgow and Bodleian Oxford 2 copies) and 2 in America (Huntington and Yale); Library Hub adds the V& A and Birmingham University. A facsimile reprint was issued by the Leadenhall Press in 1898 but without the folding plate as it was presumably unknown to the publishers.
