This beautiful late Georgian book features the History of British Costume. It's bound in contemporary half calf with marbled paper boards. The spine has gilt lettering and detail.
The book is in very good condition with just some minor loss and chipping to the surface of the leather - mostly to the corners but also to the spine. There is wear to the board edges and marbled paper covered boards. The spine is lightly sunned and scuffed.
Inside, the pages show light age toning and occasional foxing but are otherwise clean and bright. The book is filled with black and white illustrations within the text, as well as full page illustrations.
Dimensions approximately 16.8cm x 11.3cm x 2.6cm.
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 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).
