LONGFELLOW, Henry
W. The Complete Poetical Works of Henry W. Longfellow
: with prefatory notice : six engravings on steel. Edinburgh;
London:
Gall & Inglis, n.d. [1865?]. Hbk.
xx, 700p : illus (b & w).
There is no date on
the title page, but the prefatory notice is dated 1865. Clothbound in red blocked with design in cream, gold
and black on front and gold and black on spine; the design on back is plain
embossed. The page edges are
gilded. The cover is a little bumped
and rubbed, particularly on the spine.
The spine is a little faded and there is staining on all parts of
the cover, but not to a degree which significantly detracts from the
attractiveness of the design. The
binding is sound. There is light
browning and there is foxing on the first and last few pages as well as
foxing on a small proportion of the remaining pages. The names of two former owners are
inscribed on the flyleaf. Judging
from the style and ink, one of these P.J. Rooney, was probably the original
owner. The text is clear and unmarked.
All in all, considering its age, I would describe this book’s
condition as very good. Click here to see photos 1, 2 , 3 , 4, 5 and 6.. Contact
