About This Item
Boston: Estes and Lauriat, 1894. Book. Near Fine. Decorative Cloth. First Printing of the First Edition. Fine but for a small marginal stain to first few pages of prelims. Heavy linen jacket has some wear to crown and heel of spine, which is sunned. The jacket has done its job superbly, as the striking gilt stamped cover and spine are exceptionally bright. ( See additional photos )Top edge gilt. 20 photographic plates. A very attractive volume..
