About This Item
anticat16. Washington: William Greer, 1828. 560 pages. Volume 1, Numbers 1 - 4. All four numbers of this journal bound into a single volume. Contemporary boards, corners quite worn, rebacked with a brown cloth spine and new end papers sometime in the late 20th century, from the look of it. Complete with 39 plates printed on 38 sheets (one is a double), of which several are folding. Subjects include spinning and weaving. Some faint library stamps on the initial few and final leaves, quite heavily foxed in the early numbers, cleaner toward the rear of the volume. There are a few short tears in margins, pages are quite yellowed and brittle, generally a very good copy.
