Vintage 1884 Steel Engraving of Mt Vesuvius & Naples - SHIPS FLAT & FREE!

Description: After more than 60 years of collecting books, it is time to move my collections along to new homes. In 1982 I ran across a 17 volume deluxe edition set of Victor Drury’s 1885 epic work, “History of Rome and of the Roman People.” Drury (1811-1894) was a French scholar who wrote extensively on ancient Roman and Greek civilizations and his books were very detailed and extensively illustrated. This deluxe set was limited to 1000 copies, to subscribers only, and the set is hand printed number 294 of 1000. The book bindings while beautiful, were in poor condition and I planned to work with my older brother who does bookbinding and repair to restore the collection. Over the years, smaller book projects took priority and these sets have sat on one of my shelves, loved and cared for, but not ever restored. Now, my older brother is not able to do the work and it is time to move these items along. Some of the books have pages that are loosely attached and I have decided to recover some of the maps, prints, plates, and prints as they are interesting, historical, and would look great framed. This print is from Volume IV of the set printed in 1884 and is a well detailed steel engraving of Naples and Mount Vesuvius as it appeared at the time of printing in early 1880s. The print is an original (not a copy) from the book, is printed on linen vellum paper (medium heavy) which measures 11 1/2” x 7 3/4”. The back of the print is blank and has no printing. It is still attached to two additional pages on the “geography of Italy” and is included with the print. To ensure it arrives safely, it will ship flat and be enclosed in an archival sleeve suitable for long or short term storage. As everything needs to find a new home, I will provide FREE SHIPPING to within the US.
