(ROYAL SPANISH WEDDING HALL, in which both the Austrian law of succession and the French pretension to the Spanish monarchy are presented, as well as a description of the Spanish provinces in three parts. 3 parts in 1 volume. By Johann Joachim Müller.)

FRANKFURT and LEIPZIG: Riegeln, 1710. TEXT in GERMAN.

Hardcovers, contemporary pigskin covered wooden boards, 4 raised spine bands, clasps, thick 8vo, 4x7 inches (10x17 cm). Pagination: [1} Blank, [10] Prelims, [16] Foreword, [62] Register, 640 Text Part I, 406 Text Part II, 400 Text Part III, [1] Blank, plus plates.

ILLUSTRATED with 20 copper plates consisting of 3 portraits including the frontispiece + 17 (of 18) folding plates. The folding plates include a horse ballet, a bullfight, views, maps of Cadiz, Gibraltar, Vigos, Barcelona, and more.

GOOD CONDITION:

The covers have some light staining, some spotting, age toning, and the manuscript writing on the spine is now illegible, but the pigskin boards are solid and quite attractive, and the covers' clasps are functional.

Internally, lacking 1 of the 18 folding plates (the 3 single page portrait engravings are present), 2 of the folding plates are torn with loss (the one next to page 332 Part III is missing all of its fold-open part), otherwise the plates are bright and attractive; the blank endpapers have some soiling; the title-page has some previous owner's notes (they appear to be relevant), the pages are lightly age toned, there is some soiling, spotting, edge chipping, marginalia, etc. here and there. Overall a solid, attractive, presentable copy of this 1710 book.
