The lives and works of Michael Angelo and Raphael.

Description:

I have this interesting old book in very nice condition. It has a patterned embossed gold/brown spine, and a plain mustard brown front (with simple embossed parallel edging gold lines) and back cover. The content is richly written and interesting in composition and very readable; a world away from txt mssgz. There are a nice selection of engraved artworks throughout, by both artists and the book is signed to a recipient (A Ogden from C H Wade [and dated (presented) Dec 5th 1864]). The book itself is Roman numeral dated 1861. The page edgings are also decoratively patterned, as seen with the book closed.
