[CELLINI, GIUSEPPE].

Calendario dell' Anno 1899.

Rome Società Editrice Dante Alighieri 1898 Oblong octavo. (60) pp. One of 200 copies. Illustrated with seventeen chromolithographed plates by Giuseppe Cellini. These illustrations clearly demonstrate the sway that the Renaissance aesthetic had on the Arts and Crafts movement, and they accompany a series of musical arrangements by Salvatore Saya, with lyrics by Ugo Fleres. Bound in stab-sewn printed stiff card wrappers which show some chipping to the lower front cover and a few tears to spine. In addition, there are twenty one of Cellini's original watercolor and ink drawings for this work, of which three were not used, and one is a duplicate. Each measures about 9 5/8 by 8 3/4 inches (240 x 220 mm); the panels for the months of the year have, in almost all cases, place holder text handwritten by the artist that was substituted for type in the final version. Cellini is perhaps best known for the frescos which decorate the Galleria Sciarra in Rome.
