This beautiful edition of the Prince of the House of David was published by George Routledge and Sons. The book itself is undated but there is an inscription written inside dated 1881. So the book is from the mid to late Victorian era.
The book is bound in blue cloth over bevelled boards with beautiful gilt and black decoration to the front board and spine. It’s in near fine condition, with light wear to the corners which has caused minor fraying to the cloth. There re some small marks to the back board and very light sunning to the spine. Crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth.
Inside, there is an inscription written on the front free endpaper and foxing to the tissue guard. The pages show minimal toning.
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).
