hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: Cambridge, Massachusetts, Page & Shaw Press, 1924 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 234. Condition Report: Very Good. The original dark cloth binding remains firm and structurally sound, exhibiting only moderate rubbing and slight shelf-wear to the spine extremities and corner tips. The gilt titling to the upper board remains clear and relatively bright, unaffected by significant oxidation or dulling. The binding is tight with no internal looseness or splitting at the hinges. Internally, the text block presents very well, displaying standard, mild age-toning to the page margins but remaining entirely free of foxing, spotting, or significant blemishes. The volume is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve. Catalogue Note: First edition. Although detailing the history of an ancient Nottinghamshire village, this volume features the highly unusual provenance of being printed and published in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The copyright (dated 1925) was held by Otis Emerson Dunham, an American descendant of the villageâs namesake family, suggesting the book was financed and distributed largely for transatlantic genealogical interest rather than standard domestic retail. The volume includes a portrait frontispiece of the author, Rev. Howard Chadwick, who served as the Vicar of Dunham-on-Trent from 1906 to 1913. As a privately financed local history with a highly specific international connection, this title remains scarce on the open market, particularly in sturdy, unsophisticated original condition. A meticulously researched and highly specific local topography, History of Dunham-on-Trent offers a comprehensive nine-hundred-year record of the ancient Nottinghamshire village and its surrounding hamlets of Ragnall, Darlton, Wimpton, and Kingshaugh. Compiled by the village's former Vicar, the work traces the area's development from its earliest Saxon and Norman roots through the centuries, detailing prominent local families, church records, and the agricultural evolution of the Trent River region. It stands as a fascinating and scarce resource for both regional historians and genealogists alike. N/A (illustratore).…
