About this Item

1978, Limited Edition, v. scarce. Number 140/1,000 copies. Volume 3 of a 6-volume set of books compiled and published to celebrate the cycling art of George Moore (d.1914). (Particularly rare to see a Volume 3 available). This volume covers the year 1887-1888 and contains a selection of Moore's cartoons and illustrations from 'Bicycling News' magazine from that year. Moore had a long association with 'Bicycling News', and the later magazine 'Cycling'. He was a well known, respected cyclist and cycling artist alongside the redoubtable Frank Patterson and others such as Percy Kemp. Moore was a proponent of the woodcut and lithograph before advances in printing allowed the reproduction of pen and ink drawings. 104 pages printed on thick, matt, cream paper and bound in cream boards. Gold, gilt titles to spine boards. Pink colour 'blotches' faintly visible through front & rear cream boards and light fox-marks to page ends but otherwise in VGC throughout - contents are very clean, tidy and tightly bound. B. & w. illustrations to r.h.s of pages. Non-clipped dust-jacket with dark brown/cream inset titles to front jacket which has signs of wear and tear - rubs & bumps, fox-marks to outer, creases and 3 (repaired) tears. In overall Fair+ condition. Large 8vo. [A heavy book to post, but well within Royal Mail's 2kg small parcel limit for UK destinations. Additional postage will be requested for international destinations]. Volumes 1, 2, 4, and 5 are also available - see listings no. 21889, 240210, 240208, 240206 respectively. A reduction will be applied when more than one volume is purchased - please contact us via ABE for information.
