Sobre este artículo
LONDON: James Nelson & Co, 1859 A good copy of the 3rd edition in the original decorative cloth binding, with 60 hand coloured plates. The binding has a gilt plant to the front board with blind stamped decoration to both boards. The spine has gilt decoration and titles. There is uneven fading to the boards and the spine is faded with a couple of spots. There is wear to edges, spine ends, joints and corners (very turned) with some cloth loss but the binding is clean and sound. Original yellow endpapers present with spotting which continues over the half title and slightly affects the title page at the beginning, and affects the final index leaf and the verso of the rear free endpaper at the end. Contents are complete, clean and sound and in very good condition with 60 hand coloured plates with guards. There is light toning to page edges and the occasional light mark or corner turn. Plate 2 is positioned at p 4, and Plate 1 at p 10. There is slight grubbiness to the gutter of Plate 33 and a darker area at the top of Plate 42. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
