Published By: W. H. Allen & Co.
St Mary's Books is proud to present this stunning 1889 second edition of Henry Coxwell's "My Life and Balloon Experiences", signed by the author. Bound in bright orange cloth, and featuring a stunning black ink illustration of two men in a hot air balloon, this hardback book has gold gilt lettering and decorations. Inside, past the decorated free endpapers, one finds i-xi and 283 pages of text, detailing Henry Tracey Coxwell's life of adventure and excitement in the ballooning world. This book is complete with stunning illustrations, such as the frontispiece, an charming illustration of two men in uniform, scanning the ground with telescopes, titled, "Military Ballooning - Working the Signals". This book is in very good condition, though the cloth on the spine is slightly faded and there is some minor foxing on the free endpapers and the title page, the rest of the book remains clean and readable. This stunning copy is looking for a new home, and would make for the perfect gift for any Victorian-era Ballooning enthusiast.
