Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. A beautiful 1871 green cloth edition, with a scarce and striking cover. A lovely, early green cloth edition of this work, in original binding, with a gilt top edge.Decorated with an intricate gilt motif to the front board, and an atmospheric cobweb design that frames both boards, and the spine. 'Strange Dwellings' has since been reprinted many times without this striking cover, making this copy a scarce artistic artefact.Featuring a woodcut frontispiece, and interspersed with vignette illustrations by W. F. Keyl, J. B. Zwecker, and E. Smith.An influential figure in his area of study, Rev. J. G. Wood wrote many volumes concerned with making natural history accessible to a wide audience.This title was abbreviated from one such work - 'Homes Without Hands', published in 1865 - with the addition, seen in this copy, of artwork by J. B. Zwecker.Includes 32 pages of the publisher's catalogue. Bound in original, green cloth. Externally, in very good condition. Slight shelf wear. Wear to spine tips. Embossed bookseller logo to front free endpaper. Edmonds and Remnants sticker to rear pastedown. Slightly bumped head and tail. Slight handling marks to board.
