About This Item
Fourth edition stated, in decorated but faded green cloth, small quarto, pp. xxiv, 473 plus short catalogue of other titles available from the publisher. Complete with the 6 maps and 54 illustrations called for. A FAIR-only copy with extensive shelf rubbing. Spine ends and board tips are rubbed through. Hinges just beginning to show signs of tenderness. The fold-out map of South America is missing an upper panel with a small portion of the continent's Northern arc. The map's middle panel is present but separated from the intact bottom third. This middle panel has some margin missing and short tears, as well. A part of the lower fore-edge margin on page 271/272 is absent (see our image with pencil). A previous owner has attempted to draw a map on the final page of the index. On the plus side, there are some striking portraits of women, including A Lima Belle; A Market Woman; Four Pretty Sisters; A Wealthy Negress; A Paramaribo Creole; and A Cayenne Creole.
