Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands…

London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1869. Leather spine and wooden Mauchline Ware boards, 7 inches tall. With raised bands and gilt tooling to the panels around a thistle centre tool. The front board bears in image of Queen Victoria seated in front of spinning wheel above some text, the rear board shows Dunkeld Cathedral. The volume is illustrated with the 6 engravings called for and numerous vignettes but also with 12 mounted original photographs. All edges gilt. There is a little foxing especially to the mounts of the photographs but overall in excellent condition, with no chipping to the boards.
