About This Item
Red fabric covered boards with black and yellow decoration on the front and spine and gilt print on the spine. A small smudge of something on the front, possibly paint. Wear at the corners and head and tail of the spine, fairly mild for the book's age. Pages are clean and yellowed. Stitching is still solid, but a split is forming in the front endpaper and has fully formed at the penultimate page (see photos 4 and 5). No date, but research into the publisher has led me to the conclusion that this was published about 1897. A somewhat rare edition.
