Item description from seller

ROME BY FRANCIS WEY 1898 30 PLATES + FOLD-OUT MAP VG. I am pleased to offer another nicely decorated travel guide to the Eternal City of Rome; the book is titled: Rome by Francis Wey. It is a new edition revised and compared with the latest authorities by Maria Hornor Lansdale. This small hard cover book (5 ½ x 8 ¼ inches, 510 pages) was published by Henry T. Coates & Co. of Philadelphia dated 1898 and the Second Edition. The book includes a lovely tissue-guarded Frontispiece (the Arch of Titus), 29 other similarly protected plates and a fold-out color map of the City. It is bound in burgundy boards with elaborate gilt decorations on the cover and gilt titles on the spine. The top edge is gilt. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are clean and just a bit dust-dulled, and the spine slightly faded with handling. The boards have been slightly bumped at the corners and spine tips. Inside there is a vintage gift inscription and an inked name on the front endpaper but those are the only marks I found in the book. The folded map is in very good condition but torn at the place where it attaches to the book without affecting the map itself. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
