"The facsimiles 1 to 13 [p. 147-151] and the watermarks [p. 153] have been reproduced ... from the lithographic tracings in Count Léon de Laborde's book Débuts de l'imprimerie à Strasbourg, Paris, 1840. Facsimile 14 [p. 152] has been taken from a pamphlet entitled Gutenberg, lithographed by students of the Strasbourg Industrial school, 1840 (from the copy in the library of the Grolier club, New York) All are shown in the exact size of the originals, preserved by the tracings."--Author's note, p. [146]
