About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz, 1932. Hardcover without dust jacket, Second Edition, 220 pages including hundreds of contemporary monochrome engravings; gently used, not abused, tight in binding, but showing its nine decades with only light shelf wear to cover edges but considerable fading and waterstaining to covers, page edges age toned, dust speckled and showing scattered foxing spots, but interior very clean and unmarked, no foxing, pages looking almost as new. For something completely different, see also our listings for James Hamilton's A Strange Business: Art, Culture, and Commerce in 19th [Nineteenth] Century London, or perhaps Fraser Harrison's The Dark Angel: Aspects of Victorian Sexuality. Hard Cover. Good.
