About This Item
Hodder and Stoughton, Publishers. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. This copy is undated. Thee are fifteen tipped-in plates, most with tissue guards. The boards are dark blue. I gather that the first edition had thirty plates, and that this copy probably dates to the 1920's. The plates are very beautiful. The condition of the text is deplorable, however. A highly acidic paper was used, and the book is marred throughout by foxing. The plates are unaffected by this. I am not a fan of the practice of tearing up books to remove the illustrations, but in this case, I wuld recommend doing just that. Buy fifteen little frames and voila, you have an adorable array of high Victorian miniatures. Fast shipping, with tracking number provided. ; 165 pages .
