Praze (Prague): Jos. R. Vilimka, 1894. Hardcover. Fair. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, plain black cloth boards with no lettering or design at all. Exterior cloth was crudely bound and exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner wear/bumps. NOTE: The internal binding is very fragile. The paper is brittle and darkened and there is some concern that the pages will snap out because of the type of paper used. At the time of this listing all pages were still attached but some of the pages in the back, starting at 465 are precariously hanging on - literally by a thread. The same can be said for the title page. There is no handwriting or bookplates but the title page contains a stamp belonging to a church library in New York. No other library markings found. This volume contains numerous illustrations, some in color and some black and white. The only copyright date found was at the end of the preface. The entire book is in Czech.
