About This Item
Lodon: R. Ackermann, 1841. Decorative Boards. Very Good. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR GEORGE TATTERSALL on the front free endpaper. A solid, very presentable copy to boot of the 1841 1st edition of this architectural examination of (largely) stables, kennels and stud farms. With 43 engravings (as called for) complementing George Tattersall's text, in addition to a number of full-page plans (with their accompanying original tissue-guards). Professionally re-backed in a chocolate-brown spine and professionally --and tastefully-- reinforced along the inner hinges. Notable foxing at the preliminaries, otherwise clean, crisp and bright internally. Wonderful original gilt-titling and design at the front panel, decorative blindstamping and rule to both panels. Light rubbing at the rear panel. still though firmly VG to VG+ and quite well-preserved. Quarto, 97 pgs. Part I: The Stud Farm; Part II: The Stall; Part III: The Kennel; and Part IV: Race Stands.
