About This Item
Little Britain: Thomas Sawbridge, 1674. Reprint. Full Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. N/a. xviii, 471pp. Copper engraved title page (frontispiece) curiously dated 1669 and which states printed for B.T. and T.S.. Title page1674. Printed for Tho. Sawbridge, at the Three Flower de Luces in Little Britain, 1674. At least 6 engraved plates illustrate the text. This copy rebound in the early nineteenth century. The upper text block has been shaved with some loss of image and border line to the frontispiece and to the upper margins with occasional part loss of some headlines and the very very occasional page number. No loss to the tails or the sides. Small (book binder's ?) label - Comte De Caumont, 39 Gerrard Street, Soho. Bound with later blank endpapers and marbled endpapers. The leather is rubbed to the head and tail of the spine, though all the gilt embossed title blocks are present and quite well preserved. There is a little worm damage - about 4cm in length to the lower front joint - the worm in no way affecting the text block (pages). There is some rubbing to the margins of the boards and a singular stain - about 2cm in length to the leading fore-edge - in no way of affecting the margins of the pages themselves. The text block remains very clean and tight. The leather is now protected/fed with a preservative dressing.
