About This Item
London : Hodder and Stoughton, 1924 A good copy of a scarce work, with 12 tipped in colour plates by E J Detmold. Undated but 1924. In the original cream decorative cloth binding with gilt illustration and titles to spine and front board. This copy has been rebacked with new endpapers, so the binding is sound and tight. The front board has bright gilt decoration. It has some marking and a lot of wear to the bottom corner. The spine is dulled and slightly marked and there is wear to spine ends. The back board has some mottled marking and a repair to the top corner. The contents are generally clean, with occasional light marking and some spotting, particularly at the page edges. There is spotting to the foredge. The plates are bright and clean. Some of the tissue guards have creasing or marking. The plate opposite page 80 has some creasing at the corner. The plates opposite p 8 and 160 have some grubbiness/wear to the outer edges of the backing paper but the plates themselves are not affected. Please enquire if you would like to see further images.
