The spine retains clear gilt tooling detail with light wear at the ends. The marbled paper boards show surface wear in keeping with their age. Internally the text block is clean overall, with mild age toning and occasional light spotting throughout. A handwritten gift inscription dated 1902 is present on the front flyleaf. The inner hinges show mild stress but remain intact and functional. A very good example overall, with honest wear and strong display presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138918351126,"sku":"AMD-02865","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/AFD1ACDF-1D77-4B1D-ACFD-97E37E38ABA8.jpg?v=1774635254","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/1894-coridons-song-hugh-thomson","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
