The Old Gentleman of the Black Stock: 1901 Illustrated Edition
$29.00
“The Old Gentleman of the Black Stock”, by Thomas Nelson Page, published in 1901 by Charles Scribner’s Sons.8vo, cloth wrapped boards, gorgeous gilt text block top, deckled outer edge, glossy title page in color, and several glossy color plates, artwork by Howard Chandler Christy. 170 pages.
This is a “very good -” or better antique book. The spine is solid, albeit cocked, the hinges are tight and strong. There is a name dated 1901 quilled with flourish on front end paper. There is a dark “L” shaped stain on the lower front cover, seems like it might be ink, and there three spots where there was apparent moisture exposure to the cloth on the spine.
No loose page, no folded or torn pages.
The gilt at the text block head is wonderful – the picture(s) do not do it justice. It is very bright and shiny, not rubbed.
See accompanying photos for full condition details.
