About This Item
Gertrude of Wyoming or The Pennsylvanian Cottage by Thomas Campbell.
Hardback, 1857, with 35 illustrations engraved by the brothers Dalziel, published by George Routledge and Co., London, 95 pages.
Measures around 8" by 6". Indigo cloth binding, patterning to boards and spine, gilt lettering and detail to front board and spine. Some scuffing, marking and discolouration in places but board colour and gilt still very visible. Signs of shelf-wear, bumped and torn corners and edges. Binding reasonably firm though a bit strained towards middle of book. Page edges gilt, a bit scuffed and marked but gilt detail still very vivid. Torn edge inside front of book suggests the FFEP might have been torn out. Some mild foxing throughout but otherwise page surfaces clean, no marginalia, underlining, etc. See pictures for further information
