Beschreibung
A very good copy of the 5th edition in largely contemporary full calf binding which has been expertly rebacked with a newer spine with gilt compartments, title label and blind stamped designs. The boards have gilt lining, gilt decoration at board edges (some rubbed off) and gilt dentelles to the inner board edges. There is some scuffing to both boards and light wear at the corners, but the binding is very clean and sound. Endpapers are marbled. Contents: initial blank; title; advert 2pp; index pp v-x with errata; text pp 1-519 with numerous delicate wood engravings; Addenda pp 520-525 - introducing 2 new species (wombat and platypus); ad 1p; final blank. Original page marker present. Contents are very clean and sound. Paper is toned to varying degrees and there is occasional spotting - noticeable in the text next to the gutter of pp 447-450. P 301/302 has lost part of the side edge - this does not affect the text. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 032985
