[Baskerville] Titi LUCRETII CARI - De Rerum Natura Libri Sex Birminghamiae (Birmingham), Joannis Baskerville, 1772 - First Baskerville edition of this long epic poem by the Roman poet Lucretius. A magnificent copy in a period binding of full red morocco with triple framing of gilded fillets on the boards and 5-ribbed spine with very richly and finely decorated boxes, gilded fillets on the edges and gilded scrolls on the tail and head, counter-papers also worked with a gilded lace border and gilded edges, moiré cloth endpapers. The interior is particularly fresh and free of foxing, in excellent condition, with very slight scratches and small nicks to the corners, but not serious. A choice copy for one of the rare specimens from the Baskerville editions, which were aimed at a luxury clientele. One of John Baskerville's great successes was the invention of a special press for finer, sharper typefaces, the typographic result of which is considered one of the great achievements in this field in the 18th century. These typefaces were forgotten for a time in Europe, but were taken to the United States, which explains their presence in the Declaration of Independence. In-4, 280pp. Provenance: An anonymous note in pen on the first flyleaf reads "A.(cheté) 24# in 1790.
