Sobre este artículo
London: Richard Bentley and Son, 1896. First edition. Cloth. Good. 9" by 5.5". James John Hissey. A smart first edition of this illustrated travel guide to the roads of south England. First edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece, fifteen wood cut plates, and a fold out map to the rear. Collated complete. A chronicle of a leisurely stagecoach tour of Southern English Roads, emphasising the beauty and interest on our own doorstep as he describes a 'restful, health-giving holiday, spent in driving about the peace-bestowing English country'. Written by John James Hissey, an English landowner. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Light fading to the spine with small splits to the cloth at the head and tail of the spine. Hinges starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot. Further spotting and light age toning to the endpapers. Residue from a removed bookplate to the front pastedown. Good
