About This Item
London and New York: FREDERICK WARNE & CO. Undated but 1870's, in the original red decorative cloth binding with colour printed frontispiece and numerous illustrations in the text. Part of the 'Round the Globe' library. A nice example of an unpretentious victorian natural history book written for children to give them information about the natural world. No indication of author or artist. The binding has wear to the spine with some loss of cloth at the bottom. Some fraying to corners. The original endpapers are present - with the remains of a bookplate on the front pastedown and an oval bookseller's stamp on the rear free endpaper. There is occasional marking but the book is generally clean. Small light book - please enquire if you would like us to assess postage at cost.
