Mornings in Florence being Simple Studies of Christian Art for English Travellers
New York: [ np ] [ nd ]. Later printing. 125 pages. 3/4 vellum over papered boards. EXTRA ILLUSTRATED with 24 albumen photographs on card stock inserted periodically throughout the book. With binder's ticket of Alfonso Dori Book-Binder "Bindings in Florentine Vellum" with an address in Florence, on the rear pastedown endpaper. Rather unsightly fleur-d-lis decal affixed to front panel vellum spine portion. Ink stain. Spine profusely decorated in gilt. Red silk bookmark ribbon. A nice production. Vellum overall with light soiling. Clean internally, paper lightly browned and with photographs faded (probably due to lack of tissues). Very Good. Vellum. [25695]
Undated, but we'd date this circa 1900 based on the Ruskin being an obvious reprint, and the binding style. A representative example of this type of gift book.
