Near Fine. 2 volumes in one. 12mo 4.75 by 3" 12 by 7 cm. 4 240 20 4 216 26 pp. Above all else this is a beautifully painted vellum binding in the style of the Edwards of Halifax a family of bookbinders in the late 18th century who developed a process of producing painting on vellum or parchment. The painting would actually lie under the surface giving it a greater permanence as well as a subtle glassy aura. On the front of this particular binding is a lady in late Georgian attire playing an organ with a cherub at her side and a lute at her feet. The rear board has a tinted illustration of a castle in a park-like setting. The spine is divided into five compartments four of which have a lyre ornament. Gilt ornamental borders and other detail work add further refinement to the binding. This comes with a brown levant gilt folding case shaped like book octavo in size and with plush interior with resting compartment for book itself by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. The joints of the book are partly cracked. The first title page has some light soilage. There is a small tear partially repaired on pp 1/2 of the second work. The vellum has light soilage and wear. Front joint of box repaired. Some minor scuffs and rubbing along edges. Notwithstanding these issues the book remains a highly attractive work of book art. <br/><br/> J. W. Parsham hardcover books
