The Babylonian Talmud. Published by the widow and brothers Romm. Vilna, 1882-1886.
S. (3), 128, (1); 80, 2; 290, (2). 44.5 cm high. Full leather binding, period, decorative. Embossed geometric border in mirror face and back. Spine divided into 5 fields, in one of the fields a signboard with titlepage, in another a volume numbering: "14". Beautiful, decorative coverings hand-colored, probably using the "pochoir" method (from a stencil). Preserved wide margins of pages.
Condition: rubbing of the binding (especially the corners). Undated Jewish stamps most likely from the Lublin synagogue ("... Lubliner..."). Foxing, browning of some of the pages. Traces of old flooding on the upper margin of the pages.

A beautifully preserved piece of the famous Talmud edition, published by the widow and brothers Romm in Vilna in 1880-1886.
This printing house enjoyed a very strong position in the then Russian partition. As Rafal Zebrowski writes: "After David's death, the Typography of the Widow [Deborah] and Romm Brothers was launched (from 1863). Although new Jewish printing houses had already been established in Russia since 1862, the Romms' enterprise retained its position as the largest publishing house in this market." [Source - R. Zebrowski, Rom(m)ów family and publishing house, Link https://delet.jhi.pl/pl/psj/article/16328/rommw_rodzina_i_wydawnictwo (as of 24.02.23)]
