(Old Books, 19th Century Books, Poetry, Leather Book Bindings).

Hacentus, by Martin Farquhar Tupper.
Published 1848, New York by Wiley and Putnam.
77 pages. Text in English. 

Period 1/2 leather binding, gilt title lettering, marbled covers, half title present.

Item is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding age worn, joints slightly scuffed with tiny flake spots, yet still overall attractive as a 19th century leather book.

Text block paper is clean, internally well preserved, minor scattered spots, staining or soiling, any flaws of a minor type unworthy of specific mention.

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

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives.

Book Measures c. 7 1/2" H x 5" W.
