About This Item
John Heywood Ltd., 1924. This is a celebration of the end of the Irish civil war and the establishment of the Free State in 1922, a Very Good copy. A scarce book. It is massive, weighing in at more than five pounds, obviously needing more postage than usual. Green cloth binding, ruled along the edges; titling in gilt on the spine and front cover. Clean text; XIX, 612 pages. Colour frontis illustration by Sir John Lavery; numerous sepia illustrations throughout. This is a Review Copy, so stamped on the FFEP and tissue guard. The title page has a blindstamped chop for a personal library.There is occasional spotting throughout, but it does not affect reading of the text in any way. The corners are bumped and the spine has faded to a brown colour; the gilt remains bright. There are three splits to the edges of the spine, but the result is cosmetic rather than structural. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
