Seller's Description
1911 "THE BOOK OF BABY BEASTS" E J DETMOLD ILLUSTRATED LARGE HARDBACK BOOK (P8)
Great antique LARGE hardback book on baby animal with descriptions by Florence E Dugdale and fantastic full page colour illustrations by E J Detmold. No publication date but research shows this was published in 1911. Contains illustrations throughout. I have checked the illustrations and only the polar bear illustration is missing. Photos 18 & 19 show two loose pages but other pages seem bound strong. Photo 20 shows a split on the cover spine edge. Photo 21 shows a torn off corner of the first blank page. Photo 22 shows antique pen writing from 1915. Photo 23 shows exposed webbing on the inside back cover crease and the last blank page is partially detached. Photo 24 shows a gap between the cover spine and the pages but cover is still attached fine but binding feels a bit wobbly. Some pages have small smudges, marks or foxing but other pages inside are in nice condition especially as the book is 113 years old.
Measures 28.5cm tall x 23cm wide x 3.75cm thick. Weighs 1.5kg.
See photos for contents page and examples of pages inside.

Discounted P&P for multiple purchases! (either send me an invoice request or i'll refund extra back to you)PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:
- OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: 's estimated delivery dates for International ECONOMY are incorrect. They are working to resolve this (allegedly) but estimates are too short. In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking. If you require tracking, select International Tracked option.
