En Allmanfattlig Framstallning. A handsome copy with illustrations and diagrams to the text as well as four chromolithographic cutaway diagrams with progressive overlays. The binding is in black cloth with gilt titles to the front and spine. The binding presents well despite some fading. Decorative endpapers with previous owner's signature and notation to the front free endpaper. The rest of the pages are very clean. A remarkable and scarce book on early aviation. The spectacular and coloured plates show two types of airship, Parseval and Zeppelin, and two types of plane, a Bleriot, English Channel model and a Voisin biplane. The numerous flaps lift up to reveal the inner workings of the machines. The diagrams are mounted on quite heavy card with the leaves attached to linen stubs and wire-stitched in pairs. The text block is still quite firm despite light cracking to the front and rear internal hinges. Overall a scarce copy in very good condition. An ideal gift for any aviation enthusiast.
