Edition: Second and Revised Edition
Published By: Richard Bentley & Son
This lovely 1871 second and revised edition of "Travels in the Air" by James Glaisher, F. R. S., Camille Flammarion, W. de Fonvielle, and Gaston Tissandier is now in the posession of St Mary's Books. Bound in red cloth with gold gilt lettering and a stunning black ink illustration of men operating a hot air balloon, this hardback book contains i-xxix and 398pp.. This edition is complete with a stunning full colour illustration of a balloon on the frontispiece, and several charming black ink illustrations throughout the work. This book is in fair to good condition - the boards are bumped, worn and stained and the hinges are splitting - however the text and illustrations remain remarkably clean, readable, and vibrant. "Travels in the Air" is looking for a new home, and would make for a perfect gift for any 19th century ballooning enthusiast.
