Michelet, Jules - The Insect
London, T. Nelson & Sons, 1875. 1st. Full-Leather. Giacomelli. First printing with 1875 date on title page, no other dates on book. Pp. xii, 368, frontis plate "The Pursuit", 140 illustrations, many full-pate plates, index, large octavo format in burgundy full-leather calf fine binding, with gilt rules to front and rear, spine with six compartments (five raised bands) gilt decorations, black spine label with gilt titles, marbled endpapers and page edges. A superb fine binding production. Externally Very Good with expected wear to the tips (boards exposed a bit, moreso at the lower tips), modest wear along spine-edges and spine-ends, but only slight loss. Spine titles very legible. Hinges and endpapers are in excellent condition, not cracked or loose at all. No noticeable odours to the book. The only issue that prevents a Very Good designation is scattered foxing affecting many of the pages, moreso the preliminaries and last few leaves. Some of the plates have some foxing, others none at all. A very handsome copy overall. Digital images availalbe upon request. Good.
