by LOFTIE, W.J.
London: Field and Tuer. 1888. One of 50 numbered copies bound in full leather with raised bands, gilt stamping and marbled endpapers. Ex-library, with a bookplate on the front pastedown indicating it was from the Thomas H. Schollenberger Collection. Remains of a pocket on the rear pastedown, a number of blindstamps throughout, accession number on spine and dedication page. Still, an attractive and scarce binding, with a single foredge painting showing two separate scenes. Slight rubbing to the leather at the spine crown and on the raised bands; a very good copy. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. (Inventory #: 027363)
