CONDER, Josiah.
The Modern Traveller. A Description, Geographical,
Historical, And Topographical, of The Various Countries
of The Globe.
VERY PRETTY HALF CALF SET OF THIS GREAT WORK.
London: James Duncan, 1830.
30 volume set, 6 inches tall. Half calf with gilt and
blind bands, twin labels and very fine gilt tooled
panels. Profusely illustrated throughout with maps and
full pages views. This set lacks just one plate called
for ( volume 30, Botucudoes on a journey ), which was
never bound in. Some foxing, rubbing and damage to
headcaps but still a very pretty set and more complete
than most sets of this work that come up for sale.
