THIS COPY IS IN THE ORIGINAL STATE, AS ISSUED, IN PARTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE. The first ten parts were issued at 6 pence each but when it was realised that the issues without the illustrations were selling less well than those with the hand coloured sheets, subsequent parts were issued in pairs at one shilling. The 40 parts are therefore in 25 wrappers. Each is complete with its front and back covers which are in a very good state throughout with the exceptions only of the front cover of no 1 and the back cover of the last part. These have both been torn with no significant loss and have been laid down. The frontis has had its edges strengthened and the title has similar treatment to part of its fore-edge. The next leaf has an inch long old paper strengthening. There has been no loss to any of these pages. The spines of the wrappers have become brittle and in some cases have been strengthened with old paper strips but each part is securely sewn with cord. The hand colouring is very good quality. A rare opportunity to acquire an excellent example of bookselling's past. Four images available. | £250 | ||||||
