Voyages and discoveries of the companions of Columbus
London : J. Murray, 1831. First Edition. Very good copy in the original printed cloth boards, now lightly scuffed and dust-dulled, with a stain to the top front corner. Spine cover cleanly detached, but present. Text block remains remarkably tight and clean on the whole, showing only the faint and sparse foxing expected of age. Folded map remains crisp albeit with a tight tear from the gutter. A well-preserved example overall. Item #466131
