About This Item
London: Bernard Quaritch, 1868. Third Edition . Leather. Good+. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. xvi, 245pp., (i) blank, 73 color plates. Mildly ex-library, with no exterior library markings on new binding. Volume admits to a mild cocking appearance, though this isn't offensive. Typical library treatments to title-page. Rebound in full cream colored leather with gilt lettering to spine. Top edges of pages gilt. Decorated parts of red cloth (1 to front cover, 2 to spine) from original red cloth binding were utilized in the new binding. Very minor wear to covers. Frontispiece, title-page and last plate professionally repaired (reattached to book). The repair includes new page edges (margins), which slightly cover the extremities of the plates. First approximately 6 pages admit to some wear, including small pieces missing, though there is no effect on the reading of the text. Several early leaves aren't quite square with the rest of the volume. A number of pages admit to chipping at extremities and some soiling from handling to interior, though this isn't terribly offensive. Some additional soiling to edges of pages. Overall, a nice copy in a unique binding
