About This Item
Boston: W. B. Clarke, Nd. Ca 1880. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good. The Oxblood dyed canvas cover (flexible, paper lined) over stab sew wraps. Cloth has much discoloration from contact with moisture; however no signs of mildew or discoloration except for fading. Affects mostly edges of front cover, more so to the back cover, with none of the pages affected. The title on the cover reads Concord/Centennial Discourse/Ralph Waldo Emerson, in still bright unaffected gilt. Well bound with pale yellow end pages, plain white printers' added page, then title page. Pagination begins with the title page, with 48 altogether. Small dent to front free end page, light wear to corner, upper edge. Pages are clean and unmarked. I can supply images, or answer any questions, gladly.
