Hardcover. Condition: Good. Limited Edition. 1980, Limited Edition. Scarce, but copy number deleted for unknown reason. Volume 2 of a 6-volume set of books compiled and published to celebrate the cycling art of George Moore (d.1914). This volume covers the year 1886-1887 and contains a selection of Moore's cartoons and illustrations from 'Bicycling News' magazine from that year. Moore had a long association with 'Bicycling News', and the later magazine 'Cycling'. He was a well known, respected cyclist and cycling artist alongside the redoubtable Frank Patterson and others such as Percy Kemp. Moore was a proponent of the woodcut and lithograph before advances in printing allowed the reproduction of pen and ink drawings. 103 pages printed on thick, matt, cream paper and bound in cream boards. Gold, gilt titles to spine boards. B. & W. illustrations to r.h.s of pages. Rubs & bumps to board edges and 'blotches' are visible through the boards as per accompanying photographs. Front & rear end papers are marked (possible water damage). However, contents are very clean & tidy and the volume is tightly bound - deemed to be in overall 'Good' condition. Without dust-jacket.
