Seller's Description:
Near fine. Octavo (22cm); full crushed dark brown morocco by Zaehnsdorf, spines in six compartments, with five raised bands, gilt-tooled border and decorative corner pieces to covers; titling and salmon devices stamped in gilt in spine compartments; top edge gilt; hunter green silk doublures and endpapers with gilt dentelles; [ii], vi, 7-512pp, with engraved half-title, portrait frontispiece, and engraved plates by Philip Audinet. Gentle sunning to spine, some trivial wear to board edges, with a hint of offsetting opposite several plates, and a discreet repaired tear to lower margin of p.55; Near Fine, with the text fresh and wide-margined. According to the University of Pittsburgh, which houses an extensive collection of 19th century editions of the Angler, this first edition published by Samuel Bagster was "the earliest attempt at an exact reprint of the 1653 edition." As such, more than an attractive binding, but also a significant edition of a cornerstone of English sporting books.
