1857 Antique Architecture Book: Modern Housebuilder First Edition
$354.00
This is an “acceptable (or fair)” antique hardcover with nicely embossed boards, profusely illustrated with diagrams and architectural etchings published in 1857 by Higgins, Bradley and Dayton of 20 Washington Street, Boston, 208 pages plus a brief index.
First edition as reflected by matching dates on title page and copyright notification.
The front board and front free endpaper are detached as shown in the images. There is an owners name neatly penciled on the front end paper: “Mr. Samuel Sprague”, Northbridge. Some foxing on pages in places throughout, and also some soiling from use. Text is complete and fairly solid, not seemingly in danger of breaking apart. Aside from the aforementioned name, no apparent writing. No loose, torn or folded pages.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
A really interesting architectural time capsule! Rather scarce and ever so charming.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
