About This Item
London: Bernard Quaritch, 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio. xi + 208 pp. One of the loveliest of decorative arts books from the early twentieth century, both as a book production as such as well as an exemplar of how to bridge scholarship and research with readability to make something far more than a coffee table book but which is a delight to pore through all the same. Spine lettering has some sunning but still clear. Bumping to cloth corners and squinshing of spine tips, meaning they are pressed towards the text block. Gilt frame decoration on front board bright. Binding is tight. Some foxing on endpapers. Pages of heavy stock linen generally clean, with only a few tiny fox marks in the work's totality, with exception that frontis color chromo plate has moderate foxing on the plate. Overall a very good copy.
