1890s Half Hours in the Deep - The Nature and Wealth of the Sea / James Nisbet & Co., London / Richly Illustrated / Gilt Edged Pages

In good condition, here is a lovely antique copy of Half Hours in the Deep - The Nature and Wealth of the Sea. Undated but would have been published in the 1890s by James Nisbet & Co., London. Richly illustrated throughout in black and white. Gilt edged on all sides. 

The Half-Hour Library of Travel, Nature and Science is referred to as being for Young Readers, but the books are filled with information and today we would deem the books equally suited for adult readers

Contents: The Surface of the Deep; The Forces of the Deep; The Inhabitants of the Deep; The Floor of the Deep; The Inhabitants of the Floor of the Deep.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound, with light scattered spotting. Has a prize bookplate on the front free endpaper dated 1906 (see photos). This has some loss to the fore-edge side.

Navy blue cloth covered boards have attractive black and gilt decoration to the front and spine. Has some rubbing to the cloth on the corner tips and spine ends. With a small area of fading to the rear board on the bottom edge.

Your vintage copy of Half Hours in the Deep will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and will be sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.
