BECKFORD, Peter Thoughts on Hunting
London Hodder & Stoughton 1911 B000884W7Q Cloth VG- 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Armour, G D
A lovely book; beautifully illustrated by G D Armour. No dj (possibly as issued). Original red cloth boards with gilt decoration of hounds to front and gilt title. Spine very much faded; a little rubbed to ends. Boards faded to edges. Two small ink spots to front; corners rubbed. Grey endpapers very good indeed. Some pages are noticeably spotted, but the book is generally clean. The illustrations are this book's glory: with tissue guards, tipped in onto grey card stock, there are 23 full page plates and a colour frontis. Peter Beckford's letters were originally printed in 1781, and went through several editions until this one, which is one of the best.
