She was probably a member of the famous family of sculptors and painters active in Paris at the end of the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Two other Martin varnish bindings bearing the signature of Fran\u00e7oise Callier are known to exist: one in the Morgan Library (Ehrman B-13), the other in the Getty Collection (The Wormsley Library, Maggs, PML, 1999, no. 72), which was listed in Martin Breslauer catalogue 103, no. 139.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Even when not signed, Vernis Martin bindings are of the greatest rarity: just over two dozens examples have so far been recorded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Albert\u2019 Ehrman\u2019s census (the Book collector, Winter 1965, pp. 523-529) listed two examples of type A, apparently executed in the technique invented by the brothers Martin in 1730 (their patent renewed in 1744) for furniture and objects and 18 of type B as reinvented and patented by Th\u00e9odore-Pierre Bertin in 1811, specifically for book bindings. Our binding is n\u00b04 in Ehrman\u2019s list. Several examples can now be added to his census: Paris, Arsenal Library, Brussels, Royal Library (from the Solvay collection, see Georges Colin in the Book collector, Autumn 1969); M. Breslauer cat. 103, n\u00b0139, coloured illustration 21 now in The Wormsley Library, n\u00b072.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Our binding is with no doubt one of the finest and best preserved examples of this rare technique. The irreproachable state of conservation, a rarity due to the fragility of the varnish, makes this volume absolutely unique.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Provenance: Cortland F.
