Description: 1883. (JESSOP, Ernest Maurice, illus.) YE JACKDAW OF RHEIMS. An Antient Ballade by Thomas Ingoldsby. With ye old Writing & ye new Illustrations by Ernest Maurice Jessop. London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, n.d. [1883]. [18] ff. Text and illustrations are entirely lithographed, printed in shades of umber and red, on rectos only. Folio, cloth-backed illustrated boards, yellow coated endpapers. The individual leaves are quite clean and fresh; although a few do show just a touch of light foxing in the margins. Originally the leaves were glued together to form the book block; the glue has disintegrated and the leaves are now housed loose in the portfolio. The binding is quite rubbed all over, with few worn patches on the spine. Nicely illustrated and lithographed, but in a troubled binding; it is offered with all faults. .
