So the book is from the earlier part of the Victorian era. What's particularly lovely is that it's bound in the original embossed green cloth with gilt lettering and details to the spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in very good condition, with light wear to the corners and bumping to the board edges. The spine is lightly faded and there is crushing to the spine ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the pages are clean and bright with occasional foxing. The book is filled 1200 woodcuts and covers all the ladylike accomplishments and pursuits considered appropriate for Victorian ladies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions of each volume approximately 18.9cm x 12.5cm x 4.3cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubbled 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57633131594101,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/8FFBE456-EE22-411D-ACDF-87DEA37878D3.jpg?v=1791391141","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/1855-walkers-manly-exercises-including-sailing-shooting-hunting-etc-early-victorian-copy-2","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
