CONDITIONA maroon cloth bound book with gilt titles and decoration to spine and front board. Some light shelf wear to extremities. The page after the front free end paper appears to have been neatly removed so there are no inscriptions, no foxing, a couple of isolated unobtrusive handling marks, pages are very clean and page bock is tight. Illustrated throughout with vignettes as chapter headings and some ends, black and white plates, a fold-out facsimile of Nelson and Lady Hamilton’s correspondence and a coloured frontispiece showing Nelson’s famous signal still with its tissue guard, albeit just a little browned.
