1896 Elementary Principles of Carpentry by Tregold Illustrated Architectural Drawings Fold Outs

The book has brown boards with black incised trim on cover and gold/gilt title on spine. The book has 323 over-sized pages including the index and measures 11 3/8"H X 9 3/8"W.

This carpentry book is profusely illustrated with hundreds of woodcuts and 61 engravings of which many are fold-outs. We tried to show as many as we could in our photos. The engravings are superb and if I didn't like the book so much, they would make incredible prints to frame especially for an industrial space. The architectural drawings show locations in England, Italy and Russia and may be others I am not aware of.

Book Condition Fair to Good. Front hinge Cracked and spine is away almost completely away from cover but book remains tight in binding. No missing pages. A few chipped end pages. Light and even tanning throughout. No odor, rips, tears or intentional stains. Corners bumped. A book that a builder or carpenter will enjoy, and an architect or lover of old things will truly appreciate.

We are including FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING for our USA Customers.
