About this Item

This 6.375 x 9.125 inch, 477 page hardcover book is the 1867 first edition of this book as shown by the 1867 date on the title page corresponding to the copyright page designation. This copy is in very good condition with definite time wear showing to especially the corners and spine extremities of the stamped, patterned blue cloth covers with gilt lettering and soldier-and-flag design on the spine. The corners show rubbing through but not severely and the spine extremities show wear and some fraying and whitening but again this is not extensive. The binding is firm and tight. The interior shows a smallish stamp on the front paste-down reading ?Sold through the Subscription Department of H. H. Bancroft and Co. San Francisco. Agents Wanted? - - and with two previous owner?s penciled names on ffep and following endpaper. This book features a beautiful frontispiece engraving by Agustus Robin titled ?The Grand Review at Washington? and with a tissue guard separating the first title page and then subsequent title page with the 1867 date listed at the bottom of that second title page corresponding with that same date on the following copyright page. The text pages are in at least very good condition and probably better with age toning showing a bit to the paper and with some few specks of probably foxing but this is not extensive. The book features 5 additional full-page engravings which are very nice in quality. 477 pages. Seller Inventory # 1505-1094
