Lalla Rookh

Descripción

Hardcover, green cloth spine over white plastic-covered boards, painted floral decorations and lettering to front cover, gilt lettering and decoration to spine, small flower painted to rear cover, all edges gilt, decorative title page, plate illustrations, 6-3/4" tall, 330 pp. Minor wear and loss to plastic at corners, slight spine slant, rubbing to front edge of joint. The use of plastics in bookbinding would be a catalog unto itself; in this case the material resembles vellum at first glance, even the slight bowing of the boards over time. A lovely example of an unusual binding, the Crowell 16mo "Faience Library" edition issued 1896. N° de ref. del artículo 002220
