A facsimile is a faithful reproduction of a manuscript or book. It is essential that all visible characteristics of the original – such as colours, gold, silver, and signs of age or irregularities – are also visible in the facsimile. Facsimiles are generally produced in limited editions worldwide, highlighting their uniqueness and the value of each copy. But it is not only the technical and craftsmanship perfection that makes a facsimile special. It must also capture and convey the spirit and character of the original.
