Beschreibung

2 volumes in one. Produced to accompany the Great Exhibition of 1851: I suspect this is the edition of 1858. Folio 10 x 13½". Vol. 1, Userful Arts xl + 388 with 7 steel engravings and hundreds of woodcuts; vol. 2 Fine Arts ii + 404 with 11 steel engravings and hundreds of woodcuts.Very good in full leather with gilt frame to front board and spine decorated in gilt with 4 raised bands and morocco label with gilt lettering. A little loss to front board and slight damage to spine. The book is very firm and tight with no weakness to binding. The vast majority of the contents are clean and bright with no stains, labels or stamps. However a few engravings have some slight foxing and there is some minor water staining to a few pages. Vol. 1 title page torn (but repairable). Overall a very attractive volume in very good condition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001056
