INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT The Life of Jesus of Nazareth

Attractively inscribed on the second flyleaf by William Hole ‘To the Rev. Charles J Jenkins with the Xmas greeting of his affectionate friend The Artist, Christmas 1906’. Light blue publisher’s cloth binding, torn at the base of the spine - this is a heavy volume. Browned endpapers and to the card leaves on which the plates are mounted; occasional spotting otherwise. Acquired from an old Edinburgh family.
