The Poetical works of Alexander Pope (3 vols)

SKU: 030171
Regular price £40.00 GBP inc. VAT
These beautiful little books have been bound with gutta-percha, which typical of a book of this age, has failed leaving all the pages loose or detached. Will need a rebind but would be well worth the effort involved. Three volumes similarly bound. Brown leather boards with gilt lettering to spine. Gilt decoration to the boards and to the inside of the board edges. All edges gilt. Ribbons page markers. Minor staining to boards, volume three has a scrape. Slight bumping to corners. Slight edgewear. Decorated spine has 5 raised bands and title labels, a little rubbed. Pages are clean and despite being loose are not damaged around the edges. Additional photos are available upon request. When securely packed this item will weigh in the region of 1121g. (YBP Ref: 030171:5d)
