Item description from seller

A large, full scale, leather bound hardback book, with gorgeous gilt titles on the front board and spine. Quarter-bound in a shiny gloss black, separated by a beautiful, decorative gilt line, with mottled, matt black sides. This wonderful book is really good condition and as its a used book, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. Corners worn and bumped, base of spine a tad and worn. Please see photos, but considering this book is probably over 120 years old, its still in remarkably nice order. 96 pages all intact, nice tight bindings. No published date, probably around the early part of the 1900's by The Illustrated London News and Sketch, Limited, with fourteen India Proof and Other Photogravures from pictures by major artists of that time. Tissue guards in place with all plates, some with the odd tear or two but overall in good order. Contents included are as follows: Queen Victoria, The Art of the Victorian Era, The Literature of the Victorian Era, Religion in the Victorian Era, Science in the Victorian Era, The Stage in the Victorian Era, The Navy in the Victorian Era, The Army in the Victorian Era, Travel in the Victorian Era, The Politics of the Victorian Era, Education in the Victorian Era, The Imperial Policy of the Victorian Era, Edward VII, Queen Alexandra. Pen and Ink signature on inside brown coloured board, same signature on first blank off white coloured page, and last blank off white coloured page, always in the same style, (Mrs Butler, Panteg House). A wonderful record of a glorious reign that deserves to be preserved for future generations and beyond.…
