Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. POMPEII ITS DESTRUCTION AND RE-DISCOVERY DRAWINGS & ENGRAVINGS 1880s ? I am pleased to offer a large and especially prepared book titled: Pompeii- Its Destruction and Re-Discovery with Engravings and Descriptions of the Arts and Architecture of Its Inhabitants by Sir William Gell and J. P. Gandy. This very large hard cover book (9 x 12 x 2, unpaginated including 24 pages of text and 70 plates with tissue-guards) was apparently imported by R. Worthington of New York, no dated found but research suggests the 1880s . The book is bound in light brown cloth boards with bevel edges and gilt and black decorations and titles on the cover and spine. Each of the plates has a tissue-guard and a separate facing page with a brief description of the contents of the plate. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are bumped at the corners and spine tips including some fraying of the lower right-hand corner. The boards are also dust-dulled and the gilt a bit tarnished. Inside, the book is unmarked but there are many pages with foxing, typically those adjacent to the tissue-guard of the plates. There are also some pages without foxing. Both hinges (reinforced) are intact but the binding is cracked in each case front & back- somewhere nearby. The binding feels a bit loose but is hanging together. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Pictorial brown cloth stamped in black and gold. Small folio. 24pp text plus 70 full-page engraved plates. Bookplate. An account of the ancient Roman city and its destruction by the British archaeologist and illustrator Sir William Gell. It is based on his earlier work "Pompeiana; the Topography, Edifices and Ornaments of Pompeii" published between 1817 and 1832. A good copy with some wear to the cover corners and lower edge and some fraying to the spine tips. The text is in very good condition with some scattered foxing. The plates are in very nice condition with some occasional spotting in the margins. Foreign postage will be extra on this heavy book.
