About This Item
Illustrated with 72 mounted albumin photographs.
32mo. Full vellum with Romulus and Remus gilt stamp on front and back covers; spines relaid; red spine labels, gilt lettering. Leipzig, Bernhard Tauchnitz1860. 2 volumes. A commercial undertaking as evidenced by the poor paper quality and sloppy pasting and cutting of photos. Nevertheless, an interesting example of a "grangerized" work when extra illustrations were added by Grand Tour Victorian tourists, a market clearly courted by Tauchnitz European Editions of the classics. Bookplates; some peeling and partial loss to spines, inner hinges crudely repaired.
