A loosely inserted invoice dated 26 April, 1973 is addressed to Frank Bradlow, originator of the 'Bradlow variants', research work that he personally conducted on the many different and confusing early Livingstone publications. It is worth noting that this particular copy with its 973 page count is somewhat larger than many of its counterparts from other publishers, most of which fall in the 700 page count.
Evidence of a detached bookplate to front free EP and previous owner's inscription dated 1889 is penned to this area. Random scattered foxing throughout, a few small nicks and tears to margins of coloured frontispieces. Binding is tight.
