Sobre este artículo
Glasgow, Edinburgh and London : Blackie & Son, 1870 A very good copy of the 'Revised Edition with Supplement' that includes the additional hand coloured plates. With black and white frontispiece portrait; hand coloured vignette title page; 22 hand coloured and 23 black and white full page plates. Numerous wood engravings in the text. The binding is clean and sound. The spine has gilt decorated raised bands with blind stamped compartments and title label. Boards are cobbled cloth. There is light scuffing to spine joints and ends and some wear to corners - particularly at the top - with some leather surface loss. Boards are clean with some surface scuffing and a couple of slightly darker areas on the front board. Page edges marbled. Internally, the contents are very clean and the hand coloured plates by Fitch are very nicely coloured. There is some spotting to preliminaries and to text page edges - particularly the top edge and top margin. Text paper is toned. The black and white plates tend to have some light spotting around the margins. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
