Beschreibung

Book has been professionally rebound ca. early 20th c. 5-3/4" x 9" (book block trimmed to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"), 496 pp incl. prelims. Sewn binding in stained lightweight leather boards. Raised bands with title block stamped in gilt on spine. Some edge wear, shelf wear, soiling to boards. There are two darker stains at the spine hinge on the front cover of unknown origin which seem to have made the cover material brittle, as cracks in the fold are beginning to develop at those spots. Binding is square and tight. Half title page is lost, presumably in the course of the modern rebinding. Two large pieces have been torn out of the title page (possibly to obscure previous ownership): a 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" piece out of the top fore corner, and a larger diagonal piece starting 1-3/4" from the bottom fore corner and meeting the bottom edge of the page at the spine fold. Miraculously, the titling text escaped unscathed, though barely. A bit of browning / acidification at the fore edges of a handful of pages at the front and back of the book, otherwise pages are gently age toned but clean and unmarked.
