Add to basketFirst edition. Large quarto. 64 pages + 3 huge folding charts. The book is firmly bound in the original dark green pebbled cloth covered boards, lettered and decorated in gilt and blind with yellow endpapers front and rear, the cloth is slightly marked, the extremities are bumped and there is a superficial split starting at the…top of the rear hinge, probably from a knock received, the cloth torn. The text block is slightly toned and marked, and there are closed tears to the charts, though they remain in fairly good order and the tears appear to be from careless mis-opening rather than weakness to the folds. From the archives of the RSA Insurance Group with their barcode strip to the front pastedown. An important record gathered together by the redoubtable Shaw, providing information on fires, fire engines, equipment in possession of the Fire Engine Establishment, and details of the men killed while fighting fires in the metropolis. This, quite a well-preserved example in the original cloth.
