| This folding box contains a rare, 1527, 3rd Edition of "Myrrour of the Worlde", translated by William Caxton. First printed in 1482, it is the first science book printed in English, as well as the first illustrated book printed in English. |
An extremely popular 17th century history of the World, reprinted many times. It was written by Sir Walter while he was in the tower, awaiting execution.
|
The extremely rare first collected edition of Chaucer's works. There are only a few extant copies anyplace in the world. This one has been bound in an antique brown calf with a blind tooled diamond shaped motif on the cover and intricate blind tooling on the spine with a red spine label. | A book about heraldic devices and blazons. The original spine was completely deteriorated, so we created a new one tooled to match, and transfered the original spine label. The cover boards were restored and reused. |
