Hints on household taste in furniture, upholstery and other details / by Charles L. Eastlake
1869, Second Edition, Revised. London : Longmans, Green, and Co. Poor library copy in the original half calf over cloth boards, heavily worn at the corners, with both boards detached and backstrip lacking at the ends. Some library marks remain to endpapers and title page; prelims somewhat foxed. The core text block remains in much better condition: marble edges, sewing sound, pages only slightly dust-dulled. A very serviceable reading copy. Item #454530
