About This Item
London: Cassell & Co. Bound in green beveled boards with gilt and black decorations, 392 pp plus 8 pp ads. This copy with a book plate from C Curry Bohm and a gift inscription from Flora S. Richardson, the widow of his friend, William D Richardson. This copy with all 50 color plates and tissue guards present, plus numerous line drawings. Obviously a well loved copy. I left the book marks in place. Edges and gutters have been reinforced with black tape.There is foxing with it being primarily on the borders and backs of the plates. The front end paper and one plate with its tissue guard are detached but present. An interesting association to this famous Brown County, Indiana artist who also worked in Glouster, Massachusetts and Tennessee.
