Disbound, well used, brown leather board to front detached some scuffing to background, matching rear board still attached, brown leather with blind stamped edge detail and double gilt line frame to edges, no spine, marbled endpapers, closed page edges dusty, on the whole the contents is very good, some indication of foxing but basically very clean, fold out illustration, 402 pages, the text covers the Fifth Book to the Eighth Book. This is followed by 'Notes and Illustrations' 64 pages. 8.75 x 5.5 inches approx. This is a book that would benefit from sympathetic restoration. The text appears to start at the year 1518 Preparations of Velasquez for invading New Spain, rounding off in Book VIII with Trade Between New Spain and the Philippines 1564 etc. The book looks at the history of New Spain, thus covering Peru, Panama, Guatemala, Chile and other places in South America stretching to Mexico looking at tribes of Indians, trade and changes.
