Sobre este item
Boston: Houghton Miffin, 1903. These are two very good hardcover volumes bound in full red morocco, one with five raised bands on the spine, the other with four raised bands, decorated in gilt. We offer both volumes together as they are both first editions, and both were bound in fine red leather bindings by the reknowned Holzer Bindery, Boston. The bindings have gilt circular devices on their front covers, and bookplates on their inside front covers identifying them as having been awarded as prizes by the Latin School, Boston, in the years 1913 and 1915. Both volumes were given to the same individual. Both bookplates signed in ink by the Rector of the school. Additionally all page edges are gilt. The spines and edges of the red leather bindings are darkened. Completely clean inside. The Hill Towns of Italy was published in October 1903. The Plain Towns of Italy was published in October 1911. Both are first editions. Both volumes are completely clean inside and are illustrated in black & white with Alinari photographs of Italian buildings and streets. Both volumes contain double-page color maps: the Hill Towns is of Central Italy; and the Plain Towns is of Upper Italy. Both volumes are stamped Holzer Binder, Boston, in gilt on the rear board inside lower edge. Both volumes with different red and gray marbled endpapers. 8" high X 6" wide, 398 & 603 pages. Two nice first editions in fine bindings by the Holzer Bindery. Heavy books, foreign shipping will be extra. This set will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. . First Edition. Full-Leather. Very Good.
