What Our Customers Say...

Description

Decorative Binding, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

This volume was published for the Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes, a project by publishing house Longmans, Green and Co., developed between 1885 and 1902. It covered all manner of sporting activities and pastimes, and was dedicated to HRH the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. It consisted of thirty-three volumes, this being the thirteenth.

Written by Horace G. Hutchinson, (1859-1932), an English amateur golfer, remembered for winning the 1886 and 1887 Amateur Championships, as well as for writing many volumes on golf and broader sports.

Profusely illustrated throughout by Thomas Hodge and Harry Furniss. 

With a pictorial cloth cover.

Condition

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally very smart, minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine, the odd mark to the boards. Internally generally firmly bound, hinges are straining a touch but firm. Pages are bright and clean.

Very Good
