Sobre este artículo
London: Griffith and Farran, [n.d., 1850] First edition. Original red morocco stamped in black and titled in gilt. Gilt spine with raised bands. Octavo. All pages are chromographically illustrated in colors and gold with elaborate borders and decorative titles. Also with a chromolithograph title-page and presentation page. Chromolithographed by Ashbee & Dangerfield A slight rubbing to head and tail of spine and corners, but overall the binding is very clean and attractive. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Some light foxing. Ink gift signatures to front flyleaf and presentation page (both from a brother to his sister, dated 1866). List of family birthdays in ink in multiple hands to first interleaf (dates from 1849-1920). A very good, bright copy of an uncommon book. In Victorian Book Design, Ruari McLean writes: "A series of illuminated books with a character of their own, and almost the only series not published by Day & Son, were those illuminated by Samuel Stanesby. He produced at least eleven between 1857 and 1865, published by Griffith & Farran, and mostly chromolithographed by Ashbee & Dangerfield. They were small books with every page chromolithographed, and highly decorated bindings," (p. 134).

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
