Sobre este artículo
London: R Ackermann A good to very good copy in contemporary half leather binding with hand coloured frontispiece and 11 further hand coloured plates. Undated but 1824 and part of the World in Miniature series. The binding has gilt-lined raised bands to spine and title and volume labels. Boards are marbled and page edges have matching marbling. The boards have light scuffing and there is wear to edges and the leather corners with leather loss at the tips. The spine has light wear to ends. Contents: frontispiece; title; preface pp iii-viii; contents list ix-xi; directions for plates 1 p; text pp 1-352 with 11 plates. The contents are generally clean with some light spotting - mainly at the top margin - and the occasional mark. There is offsetting from the plates. The frontispiece has slight loss to the top edge; p121/2 has lost the bottom corner tip; and a number of pages have old corner turn creases. Pale blue endpapers unmarked.
