This stunning edition of Queen Charlotte's Maidens by Sarah Tytler features a wonderful cloth binding with pictorial detail of a beautiful lady to the front board and spine. The book was published by Blackie and Son in 1901, so the book is from the very end of the Victorian era or start of the Edwardian era.
The book is in good condition for it's age, but there is light rubbing to the corners and minor marks to the boards. The spine is faintly sunned and there is crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, the front free endpaper has been removed and the half title page is missing. There is a bookseller's sticker to the bottom of the front pastedown. The pages show some sporadic marking and light age toning.
Dimensions approximately 18.8cm x 13cm x 3cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
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 biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
