A propos de cet article

Undated but c. 1851.Publisher's original scarlet cloth, gilt, spine gilt extra, all edges gilt. Small quarto, spine a bit darkened, rear board slty spotted at top, edges boards a bit dust dulled, head of spine frayed with a 1cm. tear. Corners and edges slty rubbed but a very fresh, bright and clean copy "with 50 splendid steel engravings" although this copy of this issue is complete with the 34 fine plates as called for in the list of plates provided. Some plates are by H.K. Halbot Browne [Phiz], though in a restrained style for him.Others are by J.H.Shepherd, J.Salmon , R.Garland and L.Woods. Collates thus:[vi], [1], 2-211pp. Originally published in 1838 as "The History of London" which had the same number of plates, so this may be a re-issue copy of the earlier book.A rare variant binding of scarlet, blocked cloth and a gothic design in gilt.

Description de la boutique

A long retired Librarian ( though very, very few are Ex Library, which I abhor), collected over the last 60 years or so,with an emphasis on good condition and scarcity. I aim always for the highest standards in packaging, mailing times selling my personal collection of approx. 2000 old and vintage books on many subjects and by many 'creative' writers. Collected over the last 60 years or so,with an emphasis on good condition and scarcity. I aim always for the highest standards in packaging, mailing times and accuracy of item description, as I was a professional bibliographer. To date, I have had almost nothing but praise for these. Two comments stand out as typical. " The book was exactly as described " and " The packaging of the book was almost bombproof " This is a down sizing exercise and and every book is very moderately priced for that reason, my inventory starting with low priced books and will be increasing later to more valuable ones in most subject and author categories. …

Spécialité

Antiquarian and vintage scholarly non fiction and first and early editions, but little low brow stuff.
