About this Item
Description:
Two volumes. 8vo. xxiv, 776; xi, [1], 820 pp. Index; endleaves foxed. Original full dark red gilt-lined morocco, raised bands, gilt spine title, all edges gilt, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endsheets, by Bickers and Son; rubbed. Inscribed for John Talbot Foxcroft, on leaving Fonthill, Xmas 1892. Very good. With two fore-edge paintings of The Tower of London and Windsor Castle. Both scenes were painted after 1995 (see evidence of this below). / This item was part of a lot of 44 bindings sold at Christie's London 8 September 1995, lot 173 (GBP 618). It did not have a fore-edge painting on the book at that time. What happened is that the buyer, Harringtons of London, acquired the lot with an idea that they liked the 44 leather bindings, some of which (or perhaps all) would be consigned for new fore-edge paintings. Thus, this item was painted on after September 1995. [c340/104]. Seller Inventory # TK0297
