THE INVASION OF THE CRIMEA BY KINGLAKE
Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1863.
5 vols. of 8, 8vo (8.8 x 6 inches). Full calf by
BICKERS and SON with twin red and terracotta labels.
Gilt raised bands, wonderful floral tooling to the
panels. Gilt outer edges, blind dentelles, marbled
edges and endpapers. Slight spotting to the prelims,
internally clean with large margins. Sadly lacking
vols. 6, 7 and 8.
A classic full calf mid-Victorian binding. The five
volumes look superb on the shelf. This still one the
definitive works on the Crimean War. Alexander William
Kinglake (August 5, 1809 - January 2, 1891) was an
English travel writer and historian.
