Antique Book ' Lady Of The Lake ' Sir Walter Scott 1892 Edition Gilded Covers
Item History & Price
Antique book 'Lady of the Lake' by Sir Walter Scott, 1892 edition with gorgeous gilded covers and each page has an illustrated border. Scattered through the pages are a handful of printed images to illustrate the story.
Book appears to have been a school book in the 1920s, as there are 3 names written on the first page inside the front cover that indicate "English VIII" which certainly looks like a school class.
The pages of the book are ...very good condition: no rips or tears, no loose or missing pages, no water stains, no major dirt or grime. Each page has a wide border of delicate and elegant drawings of flowers, peacock feathers and other decorative elements.
Book cover is fair condition with noticeable wear. Corners of the cover are worn (see photos 4 & 5), the back cover has some discoloration from generations of hands holding it (see photo 6) and the first page is ripped but it still securely attached to the book (see photo 7). Also the names written on the first page as already noted. As is, no returns.
