Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

[2], 80pp., some heavy browning and spotting throughout, 1062 items described with printed prices. 2 works bound in one, 8vo (225 x 140 mm), later quarter calf, spine lettered in gilt "Catalogues = Gardnier, Stanley, Goldsmid, Devonshire", alas, without the Goldsmid and Devonshire catalogues.

It is therefore, high time for me to be gone." De Ricci, p.88. Quaritch, p.271.…
