About This Item
Gottingen: Verlag der Wittwe Vandenhoes, 1784. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. SCARCE. Text is written German Fraktur. Very good in original full leather boards with gilt year stamped on the spine. The title label is no longer present. The spine and edges of the boards are decorated with floral designs in gilt. Approximately 1.5 inches of the foot of the spine has chipped off and there are a few small chips to the remaining leather along the spine. Minor rubbing to the boards. The gilt remains bright. Pastepaper endpages and full edges gilt. A modern bookplate is adhered to the front pastedown. An older previous owner has hand drawn their family crest in ink on the front free endpage with the name Lyreinus Lois er Galis (or something like that) underneath. There are occasional small spots of foxing but overall the text is very clean and bright. Includes 23 folding pages with charts. One long chart in the back is a register of the Johannwarde Estate of Lauenburg. It lists names of people and various information about them from the 1700s. An interesting book. 166 pages plus plates. GER/081611.
