The Conquest of Mexico by Prescott, William H - 1922

London: Heinemann, 1911. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good. Robinson, Charles. 1st trade ed., 4to, full green decorated cloth, illustrated endpapers and 18 mounted, tissue-guarded color plates by Charles Robinson, as well as many spot illustrations in line and two colors. Printed entirely on heavy, glossy paper. Separating slightly at a few signatures, bump to bottom of spine, and previous owner touched up the color on on the tips and lower spine edge. Still a nice, bright copy without previous owner's marks, with bright pictorial embossed gilt on the spine and cover. One of Robinson's most wonderfully decorative covers. In a reconstituted pictorial dust wrapper illustrated front and rear with the same artwork, printed in black. Scarce in jacket—this one is split at the spine and is missing the lower half of the spine and a 1/2 inch at the top. Except for a 1/2" chip to the top rear corner, and a bit more loss along the edge, both covers and flaps are complete.
