[DCRM-L] Strange signatures from Caen

[Jane Stemp Wickenden]

Hi Bob,

 

Speaking from a less expert point of view I would have one note “Signatures: A⁸ B⁴” and another “Single gathering of 12 leaves; B1 conjoint with A4 and A1 with B4”. So, pretty much as you have it. And then leave the experts to work out the puzzle ;->. 

 

Does the fact that the chain lines are all vertical argue for some sort of concertina folding… ? experts will have to forgive me, I have not gone so far into details of collation, and it is after midnight here.

 

Best wishes

 

Jane

Hello, all,

 

I have a pamphlet printed in Caen, France in 1811 that is signed A⁸ B⁴
