About This Item
London: John Lane Company/The Bodley Head, 1924. This is a very good hardcover copy in the original binding: brown paper-covered boards and cream cloth spine with black leather spine label, titled in gilt. Very clean inside and out. A few previous owner marks, one an interesting circular handstamp on the front pastedown identifying it as belonging to the De Forests at 640 Madison Avenue. Perhaps the family of Lockwood De Forest. His siblings were prominent in the art worlds of the late 19th and early 20th century. One became a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum, another was an art historian, and both lived in New York. The other mark is a neat but not legible handstamp, a name in script, that appears on the backs of several plates. Also a number on the spine which was covered with a tiny white square of paper. No other marks, and not an x-library copy, but a privately owned copy. Some expert conservation on the inner hinges, now virtually invisible. 79 illustrations in color and black & white. 12" high X 9" wide, 268 pages. A beautiful copy of this scarce classic. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.. Limited Edition. 1000 Copies. Hard Cover. Very Good.
