Full Morocco
1896 · Wien
Wien, 1896. Full Morocco. Very Good. A relief impression of the main building of the University of Vienna serves as the centerpiece on the front cover of this dance card. Oblong, 7.5 by 11.5 cm. Unpaginated, 46 leaves, with print only on rectos other than first leaf, when also on verso. Following the obligatory listing of dances, the pages have short poems, apercus and/or maxims possibly suggested by the faculty member whose name is given on the top of these pages. This student ball appears to have included students from different schools within the university. With the original thin pencil which serves to seal the booklet closed, and string attached to a metal hook and another, to a metal coin-like piece with a clover design within. Silk moire endpapers. Condition: light tan morocco has soiling, especially on and by spine. One dark spine on spine. Still a handsome dance card.
