Item description from seller

No date but stated twentieth edition, and likely after 1898. Complete in two volumes. Approx. 7.75 x 5.25 inches. A front FEP bearing the stamp of Charles E. Lauriat Co., a historic Boston-based bookseller, rare book dealer, and publisher. Later binding of half black morocco, with aquamarine, linen-like boards. Bound by Stikeman & Co., a prominent American fine art bookbindery founded in New York in 1887. Gilt-stamped titling and decoration, still fairly crisp, to the hubbed spines. The boards with gilt rules. Generally unbumped spine heads and tails, and the corners gently bumped and moderately abraded. The hinges are in a good state though with the leather lightly rubbed along the spine edges. T.E.G., with fore edge and bottom edge deckled to a handsome effect. Text blocks firmly bound in. Vol. I with 516 numbered pages. Vol. II with 565 numbered pages. Upper corner of last several pages of Vol. I with minor dog-ears/wrinkling, very small. Replete with full-page plates, including lithos and photogravures [?], each with a tissue guard identifying the subject. Minor/moderate age toning to the pages of both volumes. Else generally very clean, inside and out. A Very Good Minus set of two volumes. 3 lbs. 11 oz.…

Store description

Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.…
