Sacred and Legendary Art. Containing Legends of the Angels and Archangels, the Evangelists, the Apostles, the Doctors of the Church and St Mary Magdalene. As Represented in the Fine Arts. 2 Volumes.

Two volumes, cloth gilt 8vo, pp.xx, 394 ; xvi, 395 - 818. Bw plates, ills. Gilt depiction of Mary Magdalene and Jesus on covers. Volume 1 is extensively damp marked - the spine is worn with some rippling but the covers are both clean and bright. All text pages and plates have waterstaining to upper and lower margins, sometimes encroaching into text or plate area, and the pages are rippled and stiff as a result. However all pages and plates are present, none are sticking or otherwise damaged, although a few plate tissue guards are torn. Volume 2 has a worn spine although the titling is reasonably clear, and bright covers. However this volume escaped the damp staining altogether, and although the contents are a bit foxed and spotted in places, are otherwise clean and tight. Will price as a reading copy due to volume 1 damage. Heavy book weighing c2400g when parcelled, exceeding the postage quotation default weight of 1000g and thus incurring extra postage over the default for orders from overseas and those sent in the UK. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
