MINGUET E YROL, Pablo (d. 1801). ENGAÑOS A OJOS VISTAS, Y DIVERSION DE TRABAJOS MUNDANOS. FUNDADA EN LICITOS JUEGOS DE MANOS. Madrid: En la Oficina de Domingo Fernandez, 1755. Original vellum. Woodcut frontispiece, woodcut illustrations in text. [i – xii] (inclusive of frontis), 1 – 228. 8vo. Faint dampstains, minor foxing, minor splitting at gutters; very good overall.
According to the checklist compiled by Enrique Jimenez-Gonzalez and published in Gibeciere (V4 N2), “This is the third variation of Engaños dated 1755. … This entry has a woodcut frontispiece but it is not the same woodcut appearing … in any other edition we examined. It also uses some (possibly all) recut illustrations, which have not been found in any other edition. 1755 seems to have been a good year for sales of this book.”
