Beschreibung

An extremely bright, first edition copy of Alfred J Church's sentimental journey along the Thames from Oxford to Henley. Twelve illustrations and numerous vignettes throughout. A very attractive copy of this delightful book. The journey begins at the Thames in Oxford, through Abingdon, Dorchester, Wallingford, Basildon to Henley-on-Thames. Each place comes with a description of the local area and the author's experiences there. Collated, complete. This is the first trade edition. A further limited edition was published with proof plates albeit in a less attractive binding. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with gilt stamping to the front pastedown and to the spine. Externally, very smart, with light shelfwear to the extremities and to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Light scattered spots to the first and last few pages. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 701L5
