Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia, PA: j.M. Stoddart & Co., 1873. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/None. 488 pages. Hardcover. "Richly Illustrated with one hundred and fifty steel engravings, executed in the finest style of the art, mostly from original designs by distinguished artists." Light blue, fancy textured endpapers. Previous owner's signature on front endpaper. Cover boards elaborately bound in leather with raised bands and gilt title and decoration on spine. Front cover has engraved decoration in black, with gilt title and design, back cover board has same design without gilt (see image). Boards have some chipping around the corners and edges (see images). Elaborately decorative first title page (see image). All edges gilt (quite bright). Hinge cracked at gutter in one place (second page‚—second page), binding remains tight, otherwise. Tanning to pages from age, doesn't affect text or illustrations. Some shadowing on a few pages due to previous owner's pressed flowers (now removed). This beautiful old volume was obviously meant to decorate someone's library, as well as provide some comfort at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Record # 369278
