Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition, the companion work to an exhibition originally shown at the Bibliotheca Wittockiana in Brussels, 1 of 750 copies for sale. "The exhibition Books that made Europe is a journey through 140 books spanning a period of approx. six hundred years, from 1468 to 1950. It investigates into why 500 million citizens, in 28 countries, speaking 24 official languages, and holding a significant share of global wealth, nowadays live in peace in the European Union. The exhibition anticipates by a few months the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, signed by Belgium, France, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and West Germany. A free trade agreement - including a common market and customs union - establishing, on March 25, 1957, the European Economic Community (EEC); one of the earliest steps, albeit the most important, towards the ideal of a federation of States." Each book is fully described and artistically photographed, with collations and references given. The volume is enriched with historical introductions by two specialists in the field. The exhibition has since transferred to the Palazzo Madama in Rome, the home of the Italian Senate, and ran until June 20 2017. A supplementary catalogue has been published for the Rome exhibition, also available from Peter Harrington Ltd. Folio. Black skiver and grey boards, spine and front cover lettered in grey, black and white, with a protective acetate jacket. With numerous colour illustrations throughout, mostly full page, from photographs by Dario Lasagni. As published.
