About This Item
London, New York and Bombay: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1902 A good copy of the 1st edition in the original blue gilt decorated cloth binding with tissue-guarded colour frontispiece and 7 further colour plates and numerous black and white illustrations by H J Ford as called for. With decorative endpapers with different designs front and rear. All page edges gilt. The binding has been rebacked, relaying the original spine, so is sound and tight. The front board and spine are bright and clean with gilt decoration that is slightly dulled. Couple of paler marks on the back board. Corners rubbed with wear and slight cloth loss. The endpapers have professional repair at the joints. The free endpapers have light browning, and there is an old bookseller's blind stamp at the top of the fep. The contents are very clean with light toning to paper. There is some light marking in the side margins of pp 234 and 235.
