Hardcover.
42 plates, contemporary 1/2 crushed red morocco, with red embossed cloth boards, spine gilt. This is an attractive copy, beautifully bound about 1920 by Eric Wilfred Dickens, bookbinder, (born 24/9/1888) of 46 Mordaunt St. Stockwell, London. The spine has four floral motifs tooled in gilt, and seven gilt rules. This copy was used as a sample of Mr Dickens bookbinding skill & was purchased by us directly from the bookbinders grandson in its original book cabinet (that may now be seen in our Camden Lock Books shop). The book is currently on display at Burley Fisher Books in London.
