[John BARKER & Co, Kensington?]
Sun-dials, ancient and modern.
London: printed by Eden Fisher & Co, N.D. [1902] 22cm. [2], 18pp, text illustrations. Original pictorial paper wraps, rusted staples removed and thread sewn. Loosely inserted is a printed sheet, with table, 'Directions for setting horizontal sun-dials ...' published by John Barker. ' A work with the same title by Edwin Barker is recorded in DISCOVER at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew; it appears to be a periodical extract rather than a complete work which we have here. Internal evidence indicates this trade catalogue was published in 1902. The pictorial front wrap is laid out with blanks to provide publication details of the seller/agent. Since this copy is blank we cannot be sure by whom it was issued; however the presence of Barker's 'directions' would suggest they were the likely retailers.
