This is a book set but I am selling each book separately. The book title is The Turner Gallery a series of 120 (each book has 60 steel cut engravings) engravings from the works of the late J.M.W. Turner, R.A. printed by D. Appleton and Company 1, 3, and 5 Bond Street New York. The book measures 14.5 by 10.5 by 2.25 inches. Each book has 60 engravings. The book's cover is leather with gold tooling, the cover is off and the spins leather is gone, the engraved pictures are in good condition, some have some browning but most are suitable for framing. I bought these books with the purpose of removing the engravings and framing them as many are quite beautiful with scenes of castles and countrysides with people and animals but I never got around to it and probably never will so here they are! Please remember each book is being sold separately. |
