Description:
|
Book is Very Good in no dust jacket. Quarter-leather binding,
Hutchinson, London, No date, but probably a first edition from around WWI. This is a lavish two volume History of the King's life, profusely illustrated with photos, mostly black and white, but there are twenty colour plates, some folding. The books are in excellent condition internally, very clean and free of blemish on coated paper stock. The backs of the colour plates have foxing spots, but the actual plates are unaffected. The covers are clean and straight, tightly bound in quarter leather with bright gilt lettering on the navy blue boards. The navy coating has separated from the leather spines, these are now pale tan with a suede appearance - the gilt lettering is still present, but does not stand out. They have improved a lot with the addition of leather preserving cream. Overall, though, a nice pair of volumes, and would enhance any Royal collection. 635pp inc index
