First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: USED_FAIR. No Jacket. Society illustrators (illustrator). 1st Edition. "The Old Arm-Chair", A Retrospective Panorama of Travels by Land and Sea, by the writers and illustrators of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, London England. No copyright date. Research indicates the book was first published, by this Society, in 1850. This is an 1854 printing of that same First Edition. NOT Ex-Library. No ISBN. A tight firm volume in worn blue-gray deeply embossed hard boards, 7" x 4 1/2" x 365 lightly toned, mildly foxed pages of world travel reporting as was put together in the 1850s, when most persons never ventured more than 20 miles from home. The illustrations are quaint to us today, but the cities which became large later were pictured as modest villages in those years. A remarkable period piece. Fair condition throughout. We noted a missing margin piece from the first page of text - no text missing - just a portion of margin. There is light foxing throughout. This one has been loved, and read, well. Still tight and firm. No looseness, No mustiness, No smoke smell. A giftatory, front endpage - appears to be period to the 1850s. No other names, No other markings, No looseness. NOT Ex-Library, NOT Remainder-marked. We combine S&H on multiple purchases. A marvelous and historic find.
