Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. Hardcover. Full leather, likely the original binding. Chipped title label on the spine, "Sporting Tour." Binding is in good shape; it was never a fancy binding, so the bumps to the corners do not offend as they would in a fancier edition. 311 pages + index. Some facing and foxing to the pages, but in… keeping with age. All 16 plates present, from paintings by Mr. Garrard. The plates offer a bit more to look at than the landscape, since some of them show hunting and fishing scenes (duck shooting in Inchmerin and fishing on Loch Eunick). Ownership name crossed out on the title page. No other marks. Measures 8.5 x 10 inches. Please email with questions or to request photos.
