Description:
Excellent copy of Ken Talbot's book on the master forger De Hory. Talbot was De Hory's patron in later years and reexamines de Hory's life and work.

One of the great tricksters of the age whose story is told in an intelligent and interesting way. A really good copy, unusual in this condition. All pages intact, bright and unmarked with no markings, fading or foxing, possibly unread. DJ is in a very good state. Unclipped, minor wear on extremes. Cloth boards intact and spine tight.
