About this copy
This volume is part of Batsford's Victorian and Edwardian photographic series, pairing 138 black and white historical photographs (dating from 1840) with modern comparison views of the three West Country cities. The dust jacket front and back feature contrasting 1914 and 1987 views of Baldwin's Colonnade and the Pump Room in Bath. No copyright or title page was photographed for this listing, so the specific printing of this copy could not be confirmed; please ask if you require further detail before purchasing.
Condition
- Book
- Good – assessed primarily through the dust jacket, as the boards and text block were not separately photographed; please request additional photos if needed.
- Dust jacket
- Good – general wear and rubbing to front and back panels, a small crease to the upper right of the front panel, a crease across the lower rear panel, and minor sticker residue on the rear flap.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
