New York: Johnson, Fry and Company, no date stated, circa. 1880 Unbound signatures, 12" x 16 1/2" x 4", 1030 pages. Illustrated with many full page black and white plates. 130 signatures, each consisting of two folded 24" x 16 1/2" sheets, creating four leaves, or eight pages. Many have plates tipped in. Many have been reinforced at the fold in preparation for stitching and binding. No covers or spine, just the text pages. Ready for an ambitious bookbinder. Leading edge of many pages showing chipping, which would be trimmed off after binding. This book was sold by subscription in sections over a period of time. Buyers were expected to have it bound themselves after they acquired all the parts. Occasionally, as in this case, the buyer never got around to binding the book, so it's now an unbound pile of pages after approx. 156 years. Complete with nothing missing, from Genesis to Revelations. Overall very good + condition. Pickup category timeslot {A}
