What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, Illustrated, Uncommon

In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. 24 colour plates. Collated complete. A lovely Victorian-era children's book by Laura Valentine, rendering four biblical tales into easy reading with colour illustrations. The book includes: Joseph and His Brethen, The Wonders of Providence, The Story of King David and The Proverbs of Solomon. Laura Belinda Charlotte Jewry (married name Laura Valentine; 1814-1899), was a prolific English author primarily known for writing children's literature. She wrote under the pen names Mrs. S. Valentine and Aunt Louisa.

Condition

In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally smart, with a little bumping to the extremities and fading to the spine. New free end papers have been pasted in to the pastedowns. Internally, firmly bound. The odd spot and handling mark throughout the pages, with offsetting to the leaves surrounding the plates and several small amateur repairs to the paper guards and to the reverse of the plates. Colour remains bright to the plates.
