Item description from seller

Original edition of John Rankin's History of Holyrood: With Descriptive Guide and Catalogue of Portraits and Paintings, issued in printed wrappers. Illustrated with engraved views and portraits relating to Holyrood Palace and Abbey, Edinburgh. This copy retains an ownership inscription reading: "Frank M. Faure, Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.A., August 27, 1901." Also included is an inserted card bearing the Royal Arms and reading: "With Alex. Ferguson's Compliments." Condition is poor. Front wrapper detached and heavily worn. Spine largely perished with significant loss. Text block shaken with exposed binding and loose gatherings. Chipping, creasing, edge wear, and age toning throughout. Light foxing present. Despite condition issues, the volume remains substantially complete and retains its illustrations and historical content. An inexpensive working copy suitable for research, reference, or restoration.
