Descripción del artículo del vendedor

A richly illustrated celebration of the Lake District by Harriet Martineau, complete with geological map, engravings, and an extensive natural history. In the publisher's original cloth binding. This copy is undated. Dated here using Jisc, from copies held at institutions including the University of Cambridge, King's College, and University of Edinburgh Libraries. Illustrated with nine engravings and woodcuts by W. J. Linton, including a frontispiece and one folding plate, two colour plates, and a large folding geological map by John Ruthven. With numerous engravings mounted on India paper throughout the text. Collated, complete. A richly illustrated Victorian guide to the Lake District, combining travel writing, topography, natural history, and geology. Martineau surveys the scenery, lakes, mountains, towns, and notable sites of the region, whilst also discussing its literary associations and social character. Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) was an influential English writer, journalist, and social theorist, now regarded as one of the earliest female sociologists. This edition is further enhanced with appendices on the meteorology of the Lake District, flowering plants, ferns and mosses, geology, mineralogy, and mountain heights, intended to create what the publisher described as a "topographical description of the Lake-district" united with scientific observation. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, worn. Rear board and backstrip detached from the text block. Spine backing material detached from the cloth. Soiling to boards with the odd handling mark. Tearing and loss to cloth at head and tail of spine, cloth loose. Hinges perished and fragile, front board holding loosely at webbing and exterior cloth. Internally, text block generally firmly bound. Hinges strained but holding. Pages generally bright and clean with the odd spot. Folding map and plate folded slightly incorrectly, resulting in slight protrusion from text block, resulting in rubbing, closed tearing, and chipping to exposed edges. Closed tearing to points of folding, with loss particularly to center of folding plate affecting the image. Tide marking to perimeters of plates. Fair. …
