Sobre este artículo
W. Innys, London, 1731. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. 365 pages (as found). Seventeen copper plate illustrations (Table 12 missing) plus frontis illustration. Two of these are folded - they are in tight, snug condition. At some stage rebound in board with leather spine and facings. The spine edges have wear but the binding is strong and very stable. The faces have wear and scuffing. They are strong and dignified. The front and end pages are spotted by foxing. The papertrims are bound. The contents are very firm to the binding. They are, considering their age, lively and engaging. They are as informative and welcoming as at publication. One of the folded plant illustration tables contentedly shows a Hottentot mother puffing serenely and happily at a marijuana pipe! There is wear and marking and staining throughout. However, the bodies of the pages are clear and bold and certain despite character-instilling tanning. A useful, gratifying, enchanting book that rests comfortably in the hand and on the shelf. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
