ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS
by George White
Published by Antique Collectors' Club. Circa. 1989
Good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A definitive study covering the history, mechanism, restoration and conservation of the lantern clock. Large, heavy format. Blue cloth boards, gilt titles. 8 colour plates, numerous b/w illustrations throughout.
Boards clean and bright. Text block grubby. Surface paper damage to front endpaper caused by removal of labels. Title page is MISSING. Colour plate 1 has a two line ink stamp to lower margin, text crossed out with black felt-tip pen. (Suspect possibly EX-LIB). Couple of small patches of surface paper loss to rear pastedown. Contents are clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is rubbed at corners, has a small closed tear to lower front corner repaired with clear tape to verso, creasing to horizontal edges and a little grubby to top of front panel, slight surface paper loss to lower spine. Overall a decent copy at a lower price due to faults.
