MOMORO, Traité élémentaire de l'imprimerie, 1793

The scarce first edition.
Manual which will remain a reference for printers for a long time.
Momoro was very active during the French Revolution, member of the Cordeliers club, printer for Père Duchesne d'Hébert, he put his career at the service of the Revolution but died on the scaffold in 1794 with his Hébertist friends. It would be to him that we owe the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity".
Complete copy of the 36 plates required. The error which announced 40 plates on the title page was crossed out on our copy. This notice will be modified in the second edition.
