About This Item
Wrexham: R. Hughes A'i Fab [and Son], ND. Full-Leather. Near Fine. No date, but the preface is dated 1868. A beautiful leather bound, gilt decorated pocket sized Welsh hymnal, in fine condition. Uncommon for Welsh hymnals of this or any period, in a country where austerity and restraint in religious artefacts was the prevailing instinct, it is bound in a reddish brown morocco or possibly scored calf with very pretty gilt decoration. Front and rear cover with the same gilt fillets, with embossed title set within a gilt decoration, and repeated embossed details within these ruled borders. Four gilt compartments to spine, with gilt patterns - no raised bands. All edges gilt. Previous owner's name [Miss Catherine Bevan] inscribed in a neat copperplate, dated August 20, 1876 to 2nd ffep. With 555 hymns in Welsh and 18 in English. No notation, but with an extensive subject index at the start. Unpaginated. Faintly rubbed to extremities, a fine copy. 12mo, 4" x 5-3/4".
