Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No date (mid 19th century). Half bound in dark leather with gilt titles and decoration to spine, and marbled boards. 225 x 279 x 56mm. A strange and somewhat inexplicable volume, containing various items, apparently incomplete, bound together as one. The bulk of the volume is the 'People's Gallery of Engravings', with numerous b/w engravings plus corresponding text pages. These appear to be taken from Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the works edited by the Rev. G. N. Wright, though there is no full title-page or contents table. Some pages are from the 'Gallery of Scripture Engravings', though again there is no contents table and the work is undoubtedly incomplete. An incongruous scientific journal from 1846 forms the concluding part of the volume, including index and fold-out diagrams. Leather edges and marbled boards very lightly worn, but cover generally well-preserved; internal contents slightly discoloured and with a little foxing (very minor for the most part, but heavier on a couple of plates); binding secure throughout. NB: An extra shipping charge may be requested for heavier or more valuable items. All our 'Seller Images' show the actual item you will receive.…

4 volumes bound in TWO, quarto 11 x 8 3/4 inches, including the fourth volume by Eugene Lami and Jules Janin titled France Illustrated, Comprising a Summer and Winter in Paris. The 2 volumes uniformly leather bound IN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE BINDINGS - full morocco, spines with thick floral tooling in compartments of red and black, red lettering labels, extraordinary tooling to the boards of Napoleonic symbols of bees and eagles with the eagles on red grounds all within ornate settings of red and black. All edges gilt. Bindings in fine condition. Text and illustrated with 132 fine engraved plates, including four frontispieces and four engraved titles plus accompanying text. Complete. The plates rather spotted as often, but a beautiful bound copy of this fairly common work. Although without a binder's stamp- probably an English binding. Napoleon Bonaparte used powerful emblems to link his new French Empire to ancient Rome and early French kings. His primary symbols included the golden Imperial Eagle and the industrious bee.…
