This beautifully produced volume by C.R Day is bound in its original cloth hardcover binding, featuring decorative gold tooling on the front cover. While there are a few stains and marks on the front and back boards, and the spine has been professionally re-laid, the book remains structurally sound and visually appealing.

The edition is limited to just 700 copies, making it a desirable collector’s item. It contains 17 rich chromolithograph plates drawn by William Gibb, known for his fine illustrative work, accompanied by an insightful introduction by A.J. Hipkins, an authority on musical instruments and antiquarian design.

The volume is finished with all edges gilt (AEG), and the plates are superbly printed, offering a vibrant and historically valuable visual record.
