Sobre este item
LONDON: William Smith, 1846 A good to very good copy of the 1st edition in a newer half morocco binding with cobbled cloth sides, and small raised bands with gilt decoration and gilt titles in the compartments. With 60 hand coloured plates. The binding is in near fine condition with little wear. All page edges gilted. Marbled endpapers. Contents with 2 initial and final blanks, and half title with signature of Helen Tod 24 December 1846. Contents are complete with tissue guards to the plates and the original page marker which has become detached. Text pages have light toning towards the edges and occasional areas of spotting. Pages 70/71 have some text offsetting to text. The plates are beautifully coloured. Most have the odd spot in the top margin or side margin (less frequent); around 11 plates are clear; and a few have more pronounced spotting eg plate 24 and plate 60. The spotting can extend to the blank verso of the plate and there is some spotting to plate guards. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
