Published in 1912 by Macmillan and Co., London, Francis Paget is an early biography of the Bishop of Oxford, written shortly after his death. It reflects the religious and academic world of late Victorian and Edwardian England and offers a thoughtful portrait of an important Anglican churchman. This copy is especially appealing in its custom half crimson morocco binding with raised bands, gilt spine lettering, and red cloth boards, giving it a refined and traditional look on the shelf.
The binding is striking and structurally strong, the half crimson morocco holding well with minimal shelfwear and bright gilt lettering on the spine. The red cloth boards are clean and the raised bands are crisp. The text block edges have aged to a warm yellow tone, natural for a volume of this age. Foxing is present throughout, moderate in the text and more concentrated around the frontispiece portrait and the preliminary pages, all consistent with age and authentic in character. Internally the book is firm and the binding sound. A handsomely preserved copy with a commanding presence.
