What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Maps, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Rebound
A fascinating biographical work of well-known Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, the abridged edition of this work published after the first edition in 1828.
Written by American biographer and writer Washington Irving (1783-1859). Irving served as the Minister of Spain to the United States.
This novel is one of the first examples of American historical fictions. This novel helped to perpetuate the myth of the flat Earth.
Complete with five illustrated plates, two of which were folding maps.
Containing a previous owner's ink signature to one of the front free-endpapers.
Condition
In full calf binding with gilt detailing to the spine. Externally, smart, with some rubbing to the joints, head and tail of spine, and extremities. General shelf wear to the boards. Previous owner's ink signature to one of the front free-endpapers. Internally, binding generally firm.
