About This Item
Truslove, Hanson & Comba, 1900. Hardback. Good/No Jacket. Revised edition hardback with no jacket. In overall good to very good condition - 7 x 10 inches, 362 pages, 1.75kg. Contains 150 Illustrations of Specimens of Various Factories, 7 Coloured Plates, and Marks, and Monograms of all the Important Makers. Handsome green cloth covered boards with bevelled edges and gilt titles to spine and front cover, with gilt illustration of an urn plus Litchfield's signature in facsimile. Signs of edge-wear and some staining. Binding tight and square, no annotations or inscriptions. Untrimmed page-ends slightly tanned with the odd spot of foxing, gilding to top-edge of page block still has lustre. Endpapers are a trifle tanned with a few spots of foxing, but text and illustrations are clean and clear throughout. A nice example of this still authoratative reference text.
