Description
A bound volume of Peterson's Magazine for 1872. It was published by Charles J. Peterson, Philadelphia, and is inclusive of all the issues of volumes 61 and 62. Its a first edition, 8vo, bound in 1/2 leather, with pebbled, cloth-covered boards, and leather corners and spine. The volume is full of numerous illustrations, including hand-colored, fold out fashion plates, instructional illustrations in color and black & white, and numerous engravings of the sort of sentimental artwork familiar to perusers of ladies magazines of the Victorian era.
The book is in acceptable condition. The text block is mostly clean and intact, but there are a fair number of flaws; torn or folded edges of pages, some light foxing, and some tears repaired with archival tape. The binding is intact, with rubbing to edges and corners, and cracked leather over the hinges, which are held in place by the cords. The plates are mostly clean, with some repairs to the fashion and instructional folds-outs.
