This lovely edition of Historical Essays and Studies by Lord Acton was published by London Macmillan and Co in 1908. So the book is from the Edwardian era. It's bound in half Morocco over green cloth with gilt decoration and one raised band to the spine. Top edge gilt.
The book is in very good condition with light wear and bumping to the corners. The boards show minor scuffing and there is light sunning and wear to the spine.
Inside, the pages are clean and bright with occasional foxing. There is a penned name and date to one of the preliminary blank pages as well as a penned inscription beneath this. Dimensions approximately 22.9cm x 15.5cm x 3.8cm
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 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).
