Description
Several editions of Ovide - Le Metamorphoses were published from the 1930s through the 1980s. It's unclear which version this impression comes from, though we know it is a facsimile as it measures slightly smaller than the original 1931 version. Judging by the paper type, we assume it's an earlier facsimile.
A note on condition: the work has two pieces of old hinging tape on the verso, and a small, faint stain in the right half of the sheet toward the paper edge. There is some separation at the right-hand platemark. The price reflects the condition.
