| The Employments, Amusements, Customs And Habits, The Cities, Palaces, Monuments And Tombs, The Literature And Fine Arts Of 3,000 Years Ago. Beautifully illustrated with full-page and in-text b/w plates. Written by L.W. Yaggy & T.L. Haines, Published by G.S. Cline, Western Publishing House, 1886, this book measures about 7" x 9.5" and contains 944 pages. The inside of the book is clean and intact. Although most pages are tightly bound, the last leaf of the book is loose. Cloth boards, bumped at edges, bottom and top of spine are worn and slightly chipped. Hinges are torn. There is no foxing, and I don't think this book was ever entirely read. Each steel plate engraving was protected by a tissue sheet, and the tissue has caused some darkening one the opposing illustrations. This is evident, but does not detract. The illustrations are intricate in every detail. This is an amazing book in overall excellent condition |
