Beschreibung

1860s?, title page + 18 chromolithographed illuminated plates (printed on one side of heavy stock and paper guarded) + printer's device (ditto but not guarded) + 3pp list of subscribers, all edges gilt, richly decorated, blind stamped, dark blue leather boards. The contents are in reasonably good condition - the plates have minor marks and the paper guards are foxed & stained. The printers device chromolith is tatty round the edges and has a vertical crease. The covers are a little worn & rubbed round the edges and the whole book has been re-cased by my bookbinder. The front end paper carries the name of T H Douglas (possibly the H Douglas listed as one of the subscribers listed at the end of the book?) and the date of 1896. A rare book, no Subscriber's Edition is listed on COPAC. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 3147
