The spine is gently sunned and shows minor softening at the head and foot but remains structurally sound. Light wear to the corners is consistent with age. Internally the pages are clean and gently toned, with a previous owner's signature on the title page. The fold-out floor plan of Wells Cathedral is complete and in excellent condition. A handsome and well-preserved copy overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49992302526742,"sku":"AMD-0298","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/92F19080-6E84-4EB2-BACC-8CAC331B74D4_1_201_a.jpg?v=1774990296","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/john-henry-parker-1882-architectural","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
