The third and fourth photographs in the image gallery were taken with raking light in order to better show surface imperfections such as creases. The last photograph was taken on a lightbox. 

Condition: surface creasing and handling wear which is consistent with age; some bumps to corners and edges and age-toning. Condition is subjective so please study the photographs carefully to make your own judgement.

The colours in the photographs will not be completely accurate due to variables in the photos or scans we use and individual computer settings. We charge a flat rate for postage and packaging regardless of the size or value of the order. Orders are sent by a Royal Mail tracked service.

Please excuse any mistakes we may have made in our interpretation of written names and signatures.

We always try to price our items fairly. For this reason, and also due to the high costs involved in selling on eBay as a business, we do not send out offers or accept offers.
