Description:
A rare and beautiful book, written in an accessible style, documenting all aspects of life and
culture in the Netherlands, as experienced by the author at the turn of the last century.
Contains many plates with surprisingly high-quality (for 1910) b&w photographs. The frontispiece is protected by its original tissue paper. Marbled pastedowns and endpapers.
Condition is truly excellent for a book of this age. The plates and pages are bright, clean, and free from foxing or markings (though one or two do have some minor foxing). The pastedowns have become slightly discoloured. The covers are clean, and the gilding is fully intact. Corners are slightly bent on the rear cover. The binding is tight.
Measures 15.5 cm × 11 cm (6.2″ × 4.4″). 16mo. 244 pp. + 25 pp. detailing other books by the publisher (complete with sample illustrations, and even one sample plate).
Price: £95.00
