1850 c Orig Leather and Gilt Lion Peacock Owl Book Covers Front & Back NO Spine

Description: 1850 circa Original Leather and Gilt Lion, Peacock, Owl, Dog, Bees, Book Covers Front & Back NO Spine These striking brown calf and gilt decorated book covers are likely from an elaborately bound Curtis Botanical Magazine, or other such small natural history publication of 1790-1850. They show a highly decorative and detailed gilt pattern of owls, peacocks, herons, roosters, lions, snakes, monkeys, bees and even mans friend, the dog. The gilding work is very fine and the condition good with a few scratches on the cover as shown.Each separate binding measures about 9 1/2 inches long by 5 1/2 inches wide and there is NO spine, just the front and back covers. There are no prints included.These covers provide an amazing start for a journal or other inventive project for the hobbyist! About Antique Prints & Books We try to select antique prints and books in the best possible condition, with as few defects as possible. Nevertheless, these items are often hundreds of years old and show the effects of time, as noted below 1. Most common is paper darkening, or toning, resulting in the paper becoming shades darker, from off white to light brown. We rarely offer very toned prints, unless the issue is particularly scarce. 2. Text offset occurs over time, when the text page is against the image and ink from the text makes lines on the image. Conversely, image offset occurs when the hand coloring transfers slightly to the text. Again, we rarely offer heavily offset prints. 3. Spotted or foxing is also common due to age and handling over a long period of time and while a small degree of foxing is common and acceptable, we avoid extensively foxed prints. 4. Book covers may have chips, stains, corner imperfections or spine damage and color lightening or changes. SHIPPING Shipping is standard and we pack the prints and books flat and well protected in foam core or cardboard. If the prints are very large large we very carefully roll them with several protective layers into a strong tube. They roll out flat very quickly. PAYMENT We are delighted to combine shipments to save on postage. If you wish to combine, please wait to pay until your last purchase up to 4 days. We ship within one day any lots that you have paid for. RETURNS Items May be Returned for a Full Refund within 30 days for US purchases.
