Sobre este artículo
Albert Hartshorne (1839 â€" 1910) was an English archaeologist He developed a particular interest in church monuments, publishing The Recumbent Monumental Effigies in Northamptonshire between 1867 and 1876 His other work included Old English Glasses (1897), which explored the history of drinking glasses up to the end of the eighteenth century
This book is in good to very good condition It is ¾ decorated vellum over black cloth, rear side of spine leather is splitting, corners are bumped and a bit wrinkling, but otherwise good Frontispiece color plate is loose, but the rest of the text shows only modest foxing and age toning Printed on thick art paper, this is a very heavy book, and it is common for the bindings to show weakness due to the sheer weight, but overall a handsome volume with little sign of wear Not ex-lib
Interestingly, the half-title has a misprint "Old English Glasess" A letter from the publisher in 1925 (affixed to the ffep) explains that this error was noticed and corrected at the time of publication but that a few copies were apparently issued before the error was caught So this copy appears to be a true first edition There is also a personal gift note laid in pointing out the curiosity A small photo of a Valasquez print is attached to the bottom of the last page that illustrates a glass style used in the artist's time
Note: This is a large and very heavy book, so when comparing price, please note that I provide no cost shipping for all domestic US.Reseñas
