French Fashion w/ 67 lovely hand color plates 1875-76 Revue de la Mode book

(Old Books, 19th Century Books, Leather Books, French Books, Plate Books, Fashion Plates, Costume Prints, Women's Fashion, Revue de la Mode).

Revue de la Mode: Gazette de la Familie.
Published weekly, 1875-76, Paris by Goubard.
67 folio hand colored engraved fashion plates. Text in French. Numerous plates by Anais Toudouze.

All the plates remain nice looking, a few display old soft creases or slight paper wrinkle, all are printed on heavy paper stock with original hand coloring.

Attractive antiquarian 1/2 leather binding, smooth spine, gilt bands & compartment decorations, cloth covers, gilt title lettering.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. 

Binding gently age worn but still appealing, front cover detached- please see photos, remains overall very attractive as an object. Sold as a collection of plates, not a book, so detached cover is irrelevant to value and our assessment of pricing. Pricing is based on the 67 folio plates alone. If sold individually, the plates would be worth multiples of asking price.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
