Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. CAMBRIDGE BY M.A.R. TUCKER & PAINTED BY WILLIAM MATTHISON 1907 1ST. I am pleased to be able to offer another of the beautifully decorated and gorgeously illustrated books about the United Kingdom published by Adam and Charles Black of London. On offer here: \u0093Cambridge\u0094 by M.A.R. Tucker and painted by William Matthison. This medium-sized but rather thick hard cover volume (6 \u00BE x 9 x 1 \u00BE inches, 396 pages plus a fold-out map) was published by the Blacks in 1907 and I believe it is the First Edition. The book is bound in blue boards with gilt, black and green decoration on cover and spine and illustrated with 77 paintings in full-color by William Matthison. The top edge is gilt. Condition: This book is in near fine condition. The hard covers are clean and bright and barely bumped. The former owners have left their bookplate on the front endpaper but this is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages and the many illustrations, all protected by captioned tissue-guards are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. There is some shading in the early and late pages, probably because of their proximity to the acids of the binding glues. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Language: ENG.
