Lot 190
The Car Illustrated: A Journal of Travel by Land Sea & Air.
Twelve early hardbound folio-sized volumes, nine of which are in the publisher's magnificent dark green cloth binding with elaborate gilt decoration and lettering, although it has to be said that these are all somewhat worn and marked, and some have weak internal hinges, although the contents seem to be clean and sound on the whole. The collection comprises Vols. 1 to 4, May 28th 1902 to May 20th 1903; Vol. 6, August 26th to November 18th 1903; Vol. 12, February 22nd to May 17th 1905; Vols. 14 to 18, August 23rd 1905 to November 14th 1906; and Vol. 21, May 22nd to August 14th 1907. Volumes 14 and 15 have been re-bound in modern light blue cloth and have no title pages or indices; Vol. 18 is in the publisher's usual format, but with pale blue instead of dark green cloth. Apart from Volumes 14 and 15, all the volumes have their title pages/indices bound in at the front. The lot also includes 5 issues of Country Life from 1926 to 1930. (17)
