About This Item
Oxford & London: OUP & William Clowes, 1850. Full-Leather. Very Good. No date, but assumed mid-19th century. Each book is about 4" by 2 1/2", in full black leather with gilt spine titles and blindstamped crucifix on the front panel. Hymns volume: pp. 347, Common Prayer not paginated. The original box is lined in striped silk. All appears to be original withour repair or alternation. The two books are internally Nearly Fine, possibly never really read, however there are a few turned page corners. The leather bindings and box are in Very Good condition, solid and square, with light rubbing and minor scuffing along the edges of the box. Overall a very attractive minature set.
