About This Item
Madrid: Calleja, Lopez y Rivadeneyra editores, 1858. viii,606,(2) pp. 16mo. Original 19th century tree calf. Spine with gilt decoration. Separate title label. Binding a bit worn and scuffed. Missing the front marbled endpaper. Text block a bit browned but very crisp overall. 25 figures in the text. Overall a nice copy. A very detailed and interesting volume on the manufacture of perfume in the mid 19th century. Complete with extensive formulas throughout the book. Interesting it was published in Madrid in the 19th century. Seems very scarce with only one copy on the internet at the time this copy was catalogued. Ours sound like a much superior copy. 1858
