Inside, Book Four of Blackie & Son's Britain and Her Neighbours series runs from the Norman Conquest to the Wars of the Roses, keeping an eye on the Continent with chapters on the Crusades, William Tell, and Joan of Arc. Every colour plate is present, from John H. F. Bacon's First Prince of Wales to Sir John Gilbert's morning at Agincourt, and a pictorial time chart closes the book. Undated, as many of these school editions were, and a handsome small volume for a history shelf.
The cloth shows rubbing along the edges and corners. The spine is sunned, meaning faded by light, but the lettering remains fully legible. The front free endpaper has uneven browning and some offsetting, which is a transfer of tone from the facing surface. The text block is evenly toned with age, and the binding is tight. All colour plates are present and bright, and the pictorial time chart at the back is intact. A blank white paper tag is loosely inserted. A good, sound copy overall.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
