The book itself is undated but I'd estimate it to be late Victorian (circa 1890's).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is bound in half vellum with marbled paper boards and marbled text block edges. It's in good condition but there is heavy soiling to the vellum - the spine is darkened. There is some loss to the edges of the marbled paper covering the boards, and the top edge of the text block is dulled. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there are marbled endpapers and slight cracking to the hinges. Despite this, the pages remain tightly bound. There is a penned name on the verso of the FFEP. The pages show age toning throughout with occasional foxing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 18.8cm x 12.8cm x 3cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\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 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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57380773626229,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/258EBB57-B264-471D-BAD9-1CF49DECFE86.jpg?v=1784824046","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/1871-the-young-englishwoman-a-volume-of-pure-literature-and-new-fashions-copy-1","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
