Beschreibung

Contemporary half-calf hardback and marbled paper boards; moderately worn and slightly darkened with a few small nicks and some mild edge-wear; nonetheless holding firm and square and still showing well. Internally, sound and clean, just signs of an old erased stamp to the lower margin of page 9, a tiny old price ticket at the endpaper, and the joints are parting between the endpaper and the half-title. Even so, the contents are very secure, tidy and tight with no worming and no damp staining. Size: 4to (280mm x 225mm). Comprises: Practical Hints on Composition (published 1836, with 9 full-page plates); Practical Hints on Light and Shade (published 1834, with 7 full-page plates); and Practical Hints on Colour (published 1835, with 8 full-page hand-coloured plates. But note: one plate is missing). Thus a total of 23 plates (7 of which are hand-coloured). And so a very good copy lacking just one plate offered for sale at a sensible price.
