It's bound in orange cloth with blind stamped decoration in black to the front and spine. The front also features a pasted on illustration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in good condition but there is marking to the boards and the corners show light wear and bumping to the bottom corners. There is sunning to the spine, which has caused fading and dulling. Crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there is tanning to the free endpapers but no inscriptions or writings of any kind. The pages are clean and bright with occasional handling marks. The book features one colour frontispiece and an illustrated title page. The rest of the book has black and white illustrations within the text. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 16.4cm x 11.2cm x 1.4cm. The 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":57352942584181,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/DF75810F-EDC7-45A3-981D-ABFF09FBD3A8.jpg?v=1783958537","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/1874-hummingbirds-by-mary-and-elizabeth-kirby-scarce-first-edition-victorian-book-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
