Description:
New York: R. Martin, 1849. Hardcover. Poor. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, full brown leather binding ornately decorated in gilt on all sides, all three textblock edges also gilt. The book is complete and the interior binding is good but the reason for the poor condition grade is the front cover is detached and there is a large chip missing from the top edge of the spine. The internal binding of the text pages is secure and interior is still well bound. There is moderate foxing throughout and pages are toned. The second front end page contains the signature from the original owner and the second and third front end pages show very faint evidence of wear and old store price was once penciled in the corner. Front and rear end pages and pastedowns are of a blind stamped paisley style design. These pages do show darkening in spots along the edges, as seen in the photos.
