Sobre este artículo
London: Macmillan and Co. Limited , 1910 A very good copy of the 1st trade edition in the original decorative cloth binding with tipped in colour frontispiece and 39 further colour plates by Warwick Goble. The binding is bright and clean. There is light scuffing to corners and spine joints, and there is pulling to the top and bottom of the spine. Page edges blue. There is the bookplate of Christopher Turnor to the front pastedown with the motto 'Turn nor Swerve'. Turnor (1873-1940) lived at Stoke Rochford Hall in Lincolnshire and was an architect, author and social reformer. The contents are complete and in very good clean condition. The plates are mounted on a thick brown card which has been tipped in to the book. Occasionally there is slight loss of the card surface onto the tissue guard in the gutter, and similarly slight loss of the text page surface in the gutter onto the card presumably where the book was opened more widely after sale. There is pale foxing to some text pages, which is more noticeable at the margins. Endpapers have some browning. 2 pp publisher's list at the rear. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
