Description: The Tour Of Doctor Syntax In Search Of The Picturesque. A Poem. William Combe. With Thirty-One Coloroured Illustrations By Thomas Rowlandson. VERY RARE New Edition!! 1903!! Copies of this Title, the 1903 New Edition, are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!! Hardcover with its original boards. Published by Methuen & Co. London, 1903. This rare treasure has some very clearly visible wear, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition! The wear, however, is considerable and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no remainder marks and is NOT Ex-Libris or a BCE. Some general/shelf/age wear along with... Creases/scuffing/marks/wear to the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges. Marks/foxing/wear to the edge/fore pages. Creases/marks/foxing/wear to the pages. Varying in size and severity, particularly noticeable on certain pages. Detached pages. Completely detached and separate from the book! While it is one single piece, it contains more than one page. It contains pages 261, 262, 263, 264 and 265. Page 265 is a color illustration. This entire piece, (multiple pages), has separated as one single piece and will be placed in the spot in which it should belong. We want to repeat that this one piece/multiple pages is fully detached from the book. This is, in our opinion, the most unfortunate wear affecting this book. All of the wear previously mentioned is considerable and very clearly visible! The wear should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. Our VERY LOW asking price is a reflection of that consideration and if this copy was in better condition our asking price would be considerably higher. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear is considerable and very clearly visible! The detached pages is especially unfortunate! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence! Thank you!!
