A Book of Beggars by W. Dacres Adams. London: William Heinemann, [Undated]. Small folio: 31.5 x 25.2 cm. 36 pp. Undated, but thought to be 1912. No edition stated, but presumed first (hardback).

Condition

16 very attractive tipped-in coloured plates, all have slight creasing to corners and sporadically closed tears. 16 text illustrations in black of dogs. Hessian beige spine, illustrated paper covered boards, heavily rubbed to edges and soiled. Binding a bit fragile, with rear hinge beginning to crack (with netting partly exposed). Inscription in pen to FFEP which shows heavy offsetting (the latter applicable to rear FEP as well). Pages throughout are lightly foxed and browned, showing chips, creases and some closed tears, the worse one being on the page featuring "The Hawker" plate. Odd pencil marks throughout. An acceptable, albeit complete, copy only.
