About This Item
London: Michael Parkin Gallery, 1990. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Limited Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Reprint of the 1890 first edition. Buff colour paper-covered boards with title in black on yellow cloth spine. Housed in a buff paper covered slipcase and accompanied by a 12 page buff card covered booklet by Ronald Anderson about the book. One of a limited edition of 300 copies, this copy has no number on the limitation page to rear so is therefore "out of series". Condition: Very good, essentially fine except that the front endpaper has the discreet blindstamp of the Offer Waterman Gallery to the lower right corner with a number neatly written in black ink to the centre. 286pp. The accompanying booklet is also in fine condition, with the slipcase in very good condition with just a hint of shelfwear..
