About This Item
University of London Press, London, 1936 Small quarto bound in original brick-colored cloth with gilt titles on the upper cover and spine, 272 pages. This exceptional reference work on the Art and Craft of metalwork is illustrated with 76 plates, including many fine photographs of finely produced objects. The book is quite rare and particularly in this state of preservation. It was once the property of the High School for Boys in Hereford, England and bears their ownership stamp on the title page, rear endpaper and a couple of margins..no circulating library stamps or marks on the binding or contents. Aside from a dime size spot of fading on the back cover and a trace of wrinkling to the top of the free endpaper, this is a fine copy indeed of an elusive title.
