MISS KILMANSEGG AND HER PRECIOUS LEG A Golden Legend

Descripción

An unusual book in terms of both content and construction. The macabre story (of a young woman who loses a leg in a riding accident, has a prosthetic limb made of gold and eventually comes to a violent end) is told in verse and printed in elaborate copperplate script on pages of stiff card. Fully illustrated with Seccombe's drawings engraved by F Joubert. Endpapers richly marbled. Printed bookplate of PO G R Bethell, Victorian naval captain and MP. All page edges gilt. Spasmodic foxing but overall a handsome volume. All our UK orders are posted First Class. All profits to Amnesty International. N° de ref. del artículo 010252
