[QUOTE="Chris Mount, post: 314385, member: 5401"]Hi all don' usually buy books but for $5.25 kinda thought this was a steal. Ok The works of shakespeare by samuel phelps Esq Engravings on steel by hablo k Browne Now this is a Little weary from its long travel but is intact but some pages are coming out and stained . Can I safely say that the engravings are coloured after. Are the engravings above each title woodblock of some sort. What' nice is the inscription in front page which is a little hard to read but the dates are 1870 and 1877 would be from owner would say. The main engraving pages are quite stained but adds to the whole age aspect in my opinion. Googled found info about the author and the artist but not much about the book.
