About This Item
We believe this is a first edition and probably first printing by Harper & Brothers. Date given on publication page is 1913 "D - B" appears below. The book is ex-library but in remarkably good condition. We could not find any markings except the library stamp on the bottom of the Table of Contents page, stamp and pouch on the last endpaper, the library catalogue number inked in on the spine and top of the inside cover, Outlines of a paper clip on the two back endpapers, a name neatly inked at the top of the first endpaper and some markings on the inside back cover. The Cover has a tear and severe chipping at the top of the spine, but otherwise fairly light shelf wear. Pages and illustrations are clean and clear without foxing and almost no age toning or soiling. A handsome book despite its past.
There are a few dozen full page illustrations - a few in color, and innumerable small illustrations. They have a wood cut quality. High quality, thick pages.
