About This Item
London : RUDOLPH ACKERMANN, 1839 FULL Red Calf LEATHER with Five Raised Bands, Green Leather title slips with gold hand tooled titles and Fox Head. 255 x 160 mm approx. All edges of book block gilt, applied head and tail bands. Illustrated Half Title, Steel engraved frontis + One other, VII plates with tissue guards engraved on wood and all other head and tail pieces, plans as called for from original designs by the author's brother Rev. C.D.Radcliffe, engraved by E.Landells. xii + 328 pp + 8 page publisher's catalogue dated 1837.VG (The book has been re sewn by us on two tapes laid into split boards, with new plain end papers.An armorial book plate of the previous owner has been re -applied to the front paste down to preserve the integrity of the book. The half title/ frontis/ title page and the other steel engraved plate have been washed and re-sized as they were quite browned when the book was bought in dis-bound). NB The new end papers do not have gilt edges, the front end paper has pulled through the sewing at tapes and kettle stitches and the hand tooling is a little blurred but acceptable and quite legible on the book shelf . It is proving a long learning curve to perfect - but getting better! Please see our images of the actual book offered for sale.
