Description

8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, with a frontispiece, 23 plates on 15m 4 full-page maps in the text and front and rear endpaper maps, some mild marginal age-staining; handsomely bound in burgundy full morocco, back gilt with five raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled and ruled in gilt, uncut, gilt from original board mounted on new and separate leaf, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. This copy was presented by Sir Reginald Spence and carries an appropriate presentation bookplate on front paste-down. Spence evidently acquired his copy in India; it bears the coloured trade ticket of Taraporevala's bookshop in Bombay, the stamp of the Byculla Club (of the same city) on half-title and title, AND THE CLUB LIBRARY'S ORIGINAL ACCESSION SLIP MOUNTED BEFORE HALF-TITLE. A FASCINATING AND COLOURFUL COPY HUGELY REDOLENT OF THE LAST DAYS OF RAJ, LOCALLY ACQUIRED BY AN EMINENT SERVANT OF THE CROWN IN INDIA AND SUBSEQUENTLY PRESENTED BY HIM TO HIS ALMA MATA.
