GEORGE V AND EDWARD V111, A ROYAL SOUVENIR, F.G.H SALUSBURY

Daily Express Publications 1936, Royal Quarto.

A large two-part book, 160 pages, dedicated to the two Kings, mainly in pictorial form. A fascinating insight into the Royal Family more than a half-century ago. The book was published before King Edward the V111 abdicated and so all the references in the second part refer to him as ‘The King.’

There is a little movement in the boards (minimal), which are light faded and stained. There is a split to the paste-down endpaper, at the gutter, and a few pages with tip turns at the front of the book. The pages are clean and tightly bound however, and the book contains two colour frontispieces, one for each section.

The book is large and heavy, so parcel or surface mail might be required.
