Descripción

SCARCE DELUXE LARGE PAPER COPY. First issue thus of the third edition. With over sixty delightful illustrations by Hugh Thomson. Crown 8vo, in a beautiful deluxe binding by one of the important London binders for Hatchard?s of full green morocco, the boards ruled in gilt, the spine beautifully decorated in arts-and-crafts style in an elaborate floral motif in compartments between tall raised bands, two compartments with stylized lettering in gilt, gilt turn-ins and board edges, fine softly marbled endpapers, t.e.g, green silk ribbon marker bound in. ix, 110 pp. Internally a fine, bright copy with just a bit of foxing to the prelims only as is almost always the case, and a few very minor light spots throughout. The binding very handsome, but with some minor faint stains to the boards and the front one detached.

Edizione: scarce large paper copy in deluxe full morocco produced for hatchard?s by one of the important london binders. this ?humorous month in the countryside? contains some of thomson?s most delightful and saucy works. sir roger de coverley was the fictitious english squire of queen anne's reign who was one of the spectator?s most popular characters. his lovable, yet utterly ridiculous, personality gave thomson opportunity to unleash his full whimsey in what is unquestionably the most humorous of his illustrated works.
