Revised and Enlarged with an account of the Suez Canal.
264pp plus 20pp. Original Pictorial Cloth Hardcover with gilt title to FC and spine. Numerous illustrations, a chromolithographic frontispiece and half-title page, and a map.
Some small tears/cracks to spine hinges and further age related light wear to extremeties. Light foxing to prelims and eps. Otherwise very good.
Marcus Ward of Belfast was one of the specialists in chromolithography and their published titles do not turn up very often. This book has a 20 page catalogue of their publications as at Sept. 1876. The canal was opened in 1869 and bought by England in 1876, which makes this book very topical.
