This beautiful edition of Salve Regina Dutch Prayer Book features a faux tortoisheshell binding in a lovely rich burgundy colour. It was published in 1905 and features art nouveau decoration to the front cover and a clasp.
It's in very good condition, with just some loss to the surface of the front board in the bottom corner. There is faint scratching to the boards.
Inside, there is a written inscription on the verso of the frontispiece and there are two loose pieces of paper tucked inside - one appears to have a prayer printed on it and the other is perhaps a ticket. There is very slight chipping to the edge of the back free endpaper.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned paper and ribbon.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
