Memoirs of the Life of the Late George Morland With Critical and Descriptive Observations on the Whole of His Works Hitherto before the Public

Descripción

Vii; errata page; 204; 4to; Original full calf binding; the leather has some wear, the gold gilt at edges mainly still intact, but some scratching to the leather; the spine is intact but rubbed. The gold gilt title is easy to read, but quite alot of the other gold gilt has rubbed off. (see pictures) ; rear cover in similar condition to front cover; Endpapers and paper inside covers marbled, but looks as if it has been replaced - but done very well. The patterning and colour of the marbling matches the original marbling to the blocked page foredges, so obviously was done professionally & with care by its previous owner. An aged name & address is on the next blank white endpaper; light tanning/spotting to prelims; beautifully engraved frontis ( of George Morland) and title page; page tanning stops when it gets to the non-illustrated title page; Illustrations - Engravings - Frontis, Title Page & 7 further full page plates plus engraved tail piece. A few of these illustrations have a couple of brown spots from age. Again see pictures (which are too large for scanner, but should give an idea). Majority of the pages are white. ; Engravings; 4to 11" - 13" tall. N° de ref. del artículo 104065
