Date: The music, but for one piece (1852), is undated; but I presume it is generally from this period. Of those that I find for sale or in archives The Postman's Knock is dated1855 and Bonnie Dundee 1856. The imagery however, and quality of the paper of others, gives me the impression that they are older. Condition: Very Good. The boards are quite worn. The top of the spine to a length of 5 cms is missing and this weakens the binding such that both boards are weak and one is only attached by a historic repair to the endpaper. The contents hold together well however. The pages have browned and foxed with some transference of the darker image from one page to another.They are occasionally damage to some degree, with small tears at the edges, bits of loss, historic repairs (see photograph), and one long tear that cuts horizontally across the page; but nothing is lost of importance. The back board is loose. Please ask if you are considering purchase and I will send more photographs.
