Sobre este artículo
London: Duckworth & Co., 1914 A good copy in the original blue decorative cloth binding with 16 plates by Milo Winter. The blue cloth binding has a black design and gilt titles to the front board and a gilt and black design with gilt titles to the spine. Both are bright but with some wear. The spine is pulled at the top and bottom with wear to edges. The boards have wear to corners. Contents include decorative endpapers, frontispiece, title page and text with 15 further plates. 4 of the plates appear to have been detached at one time and tipped-in later - they have a little more wear/browning to edges. Contents generally clean with the odd light mark. There is an inscription dated Xmas 1914 to the verso of the fep.
