About This Item
London: Bennet Griffin at the Griffin in the Great Old Baily, and to be sold by Christ. Wilkinson at the Black Boy, and by Sam Keble at the Turks-Head in Fleetstreet, 1684 A very good copy in recent half leather binding with marbled boards. With double page county map and numerous illustrations. The binding has gilt titles and gilt bands and the endpapers are new. With title page in red and black inks, dedication to 'The Nobility and Gentry', Preface to the Reader; double page map and text with full and in text illustrations (140pp). No index or errata. The binding is in fine condition. The contents have occasional marking (the odd mark, page browning - particularly to edges); and occasional loss to corners without text loss (title page - edge of top corner, p123 - same, p123 and 125 - sm loss at edge). One page has a small repaired tear to the top margin. The map is complete and in good condition, being relaid on paper to support the edges, which were fragile. It looks likely that this map was sold on its own and then bound in rather than being sold in the book - although it is the correct Robert Morden map. A nice copy.
