About This Item
Longmans, Green & Co., London, 1900. Book. Good. Hardcover. 2nd Edition. A new edition, as stated on the title page, but issued the same year as the original edition and, in terms of the contents at least, seemingly identical with the first printing. 8vo. xv, 301pp. Original buckram, gilt lettered and decorated at the spine and upper board. With a tissue-protected photographic frontispiece and fifty-two further photographs, all taken by the author. The title page printed in black and red. The cloth somewhat discoloured at the backstrip, and with a little further discolouration so several margins of both boards. Backstrip ends gently bruised. Some light toning to the free endpapers and pastedowns, and a little occasional spotting and marginal soiling. Former owner inked name and bookplate to the front free endpaper, alongside a subsequent owners embossed details and neat inkstamp. A nice bright copy..
