About This Item
Raphael Tuck & Sons. Poor. 1892. Hardcover. ; Rare. Elephant folio 18" x 14". Book is completely disbound including all pages. Unknown whether it is complete as there are no page numbers. Present are the color illustrated title page (some full color and others single color) , 11 color plates, 13 text pages with b&w illustrations on each, and last page (presumably) with small amount of text and small b&w illustration, plus all end sheets, and complete cover. The pages and plates are in fair to good condition. Most have creasing and short tears and soiling in the margins, some a bit more tattered at extremities. Despite the margin condition, the color plates are clean and damage free within the illustrations and gorgeous. This could be a candidate for preservation of the pages and rebinding of this very scarce book, or for framing the plates. .
