Sobre este artículo
London: Virtue and Co. No date; circa 1870. Original green cloth with blindstamped black and gilt decoration, illustration, title, and spine. Illustrated with two hundred and fifty-nine wood engravings from original sketches by the artist, including tissue-guarded frontispiece "The Great Horse," from an allegorical engraving by Albert Durer. This collection of papers originally appeared in the "Art Journal," for which they were specifically written by antiquary Fairholt (1814-1866). Interesting eclectic content includes facts about finger-rings, brooches and dress fasteners, Albert Durer, and grotesque design. Light rubbing to cover extremities. Foxing to frontispiece, tissue-guard, and title page; light vertical crease to tissue-guard; symmetrical faint dampstain to upper inside margin of both front and rear yellow endpapers, originating at head of spine and gradually disappearing. Otherwise clean and tight.
