This stunning antique edition of My Sunday Companion; Hymans and Poems for Sunday Reading was published by Frederick Warne and Co in 1869. So the book is mid Victorian. The book is bound in blue cloth over bevelled boards with pretty blind stamped decoration in black and gilt to the front and spine. All edges gilt.
It's in very good condition with light wear to the corners and minor marking to the cloth. The spine is sunned and there is crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, the pages are clean and bright with sporadic foxing and creasing. There are no inscriptions or writings of any kind. There are occasional cracks to the gutter but the pages remain tightly bound.
Dimensions approximately 19.2cm x 14cm x 1.6cm.
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).
