There is then a title page in German and a Title in English (both dated 1847). Then XCV pages in two columns giving the explanation of the plates in both English and German. The preface to the explanation, states that this Complete edition, has used the plate "Shakspeare's Apotheosis" as a Frontis. This was previously Plate one to each of the separate parts. As a result, the plates are numbered starting with plate 2 for each work. This copy is clearly the 1847 first complete edition, with an additional English title for the American market.

This edition is published by Koster, but appears to be substantially the same. Four tinted lithographs (Frontis and three plates with two images to each) by van P. Blommers of 's Hage. The lithographs were presumably made for an earlier collection, as they have random plate numbers to them (13, 19, 25, 3, 50, 42, 45). Buckram spine and blue printed boards. No titles.

    . La page de titre indique qu'il s'agit de la quatrième édition. Cet ouvrage a été publié à l'origine par Nolet & Zoon. Cette édition est publiée par Koster, mais semble être substantiellement la même. Quatre lithographies teintées (frontispice et trois planches avec deux images chacune) par van P. Blommers de 's Hage. Les lithographies ont vraisemblablement été réalisées pour une collection antérieure, car elles portent des numéros de planches aléatoires (13, 19, 25, 3, 50, 42, 45). Dos en bougran et planches imprimées bleues. Sans titre. Un peu entaillé et bosselé sur les bords. Les pages de garde avant et arrière font chacune 2/3 de la largeur du livre, mais semblent avoir été produites de cette manière (pas déchirées ni coupées). Les pages sont légèrement assombries et il y a quelques rousseurs, mais dans l'ensemble il s'agit d'un très bel exemplaire d'un ouvrage rare. Aucun exemplaire de ces deux éditions n'est actuellement disponible en ligne, et cette édition n'est pas répertoriée dans FirstSearch / OCLC / Worldcat. 70 pages. 155 x 100 mm

The fan comes in its original cardboard and green velvet covered box. This is a little split to the edges and with some edgewear, but still a scarce item to find alongside the fan.

Elle est peinte à la gouache de chaque côté. D'un côté, une femme est assise sur un trône doré, entourée de servantes et de chérubins. De l'autre côté, une scène alpine avec un village et des villageois. Les deux sont bordés de dorures et de décorations. Le cadre présente des traces de réparation sur les deux pièces extérieures (voir photographies). Le cadre est orné d'un rivet en acier et en strass. Un bel exemple de tenue féminine du XIXe siècle. Longueur : 27 cm. La largeur ouverte est d'environ 45 cm. Il y a quelques petites déchirures sur le papier de l'éventail, qui n'affectent pas les images. L'éventail est livré dans sa boîte d'origine en carton et couverte de velours vert. Celle-ci est un peu fendue sur les bords et présente quelques traces d'usure, mais il s'agit d'un objet rare à trouver avec l'éventail.
