Sobre este artículo
These rare volumes contatin portraits and short biographies of persons of notoriety in 17th and 18th century Britiain, including highwaymen, convicts, preachers, misers, beggars, aristocrats, murderers, rebels, etc. Each entry has an engaved plate of the individual.
Marbled boards are intact but scuffed, rubbed and soiled so as to obscure most of the marbling. End pages are still beautifully marbled. However 2 of the four volumes (# 1 & 3) have a loose first register (10 pages) that include the FFEP, title page, table of contents, etc. Volume 4 has the first engraved plate loose (see images). With a little care, these can be repaired. Due to the age of the books, there is moderate foxing and some staining to pages, but all of the text is clear and readable. Spines still show most of the gilt titles and design and are bumped at head and foot. A printed bookseller's description of the volumes is pasted to Volume 1 end paper.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
Extra charges for sending the set will be added to the order after shipping to match the actual cost of mailing.
