This sweet little edition of The Charm of Womankind features An Anthology of Verse. It was published in 1909 by Peacock, Mansfield and Co. It features a faux leather binding with beautiful gilt in an art nouveau design to the front board.
It's in very good condition but there is wear and rubbing to the extremities. The spine is also rubbed and worn, with chipping to the surface of the faux leather. Crushing to the spine ends has caused splitting to the head of the spine.
Inside, there is a sticker in the top corner of the front free endpaper and the pages show light age toning with very occasional foxing.
Dimensions approximately 16.1cm x 10.1cm x 1.5cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned paper 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 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).
