We recently closed our gallery of rare antique books and prints, original signed art and unique hand painted frames, some of the prints and art are framed, some not, and all our artwork and antique books and prints are now available to the public here.
This book is very rare, I could not find any others of this age in the antique books on line or in libraries.
This was part of our collection of antique books and prints but we have moved to smaller quarters, do not have a library anymore and sadly decided to sell them now.
