Sobre este artículo
The binding and the bookplate are the stars of this book. Two volumes in one. Contemporary half leather, decorative paper, 16 mo., 192 pages/192 pages. 14.5 x 9 cm. 2 volumes bound as one. Very good condition. Date is approximate; WorldCat suggests 1853 - 1860. Bookplate of prior owner "Dowager Lady Freake." Author of "Old Edinburgh" is usually listed as anon. Some sources suggest Thomas O. Summers which is a plausible choice. Paper cracked at front gutter but binding is solid. Interior is fine with age appropriate toning. A very attractive book. Google search of Dowager Lady Freake finds newspaper article March 13, 1897 listing her as guest at wedding; and mention in book titled 'Below The Fairy City.' Old Edinburgh is sometimes bound with Modern Edinburgh; sometimes by itself. Protestantism is sometimes 2 volumes. This is the second volume covering 1574 - 1685. This is the only copy I can find with these two volumes bound together. The fine binding is certainly fine but the Dowager Lady Freake bookplate is what takes this collectible to another level. Please see scans of the book you will receive.
