About This Item
LONDON: L REEVE & CO., 1878 Parts III, IV and V of this rare work as issued in the publisher's paper wraps. With 24 (8 per part) colour printed plates from drawings by Eleonora Wilson. The whole work has 40 plates. Part III has pages 113-176, IV 177-240, and V 241-367 including the index to the whole work and with a publisher's catalogue. The text pages are largely unopened. The wraps are understandably worn and the wrap for part V is disintegrating. Internally there is some initial spotting to the first text page or so in each part but otherwise it is clean. The plates are clean and bright. Part III is dated 1878, and Parts IV and V 1879. An interesting insight into how the work was published.
