[Charles Agvent]

CONWAY, Sir William Martin. THE ALPS FROM END TO END. Westminster: 
Archibald Constable & Co., 1895. First Edition. Large octavo (6-1/2" x 
9-3/4") in publisher's vellum-backed cloth, top edge gilt; xii, 403 
pages. With 100 full-page illustrations by A. D. M'Cormick. Copy #43 of 
only 100 numbered copies. The only other copy of the limited edition of 
this popular book we could locate had a handwritten limitation page 
initialled by the publisher. This copy has that page, actually three 
blank pages bound between the front free endpaper and the half-title 
page, but the page is blank. Instead the limitation is in pencil on the 
verso of the front endpaper. Above it, also in pencil and in another 
hand, is the name P. I. Weir with an address in Edinburgh dated 1899. 
The binding alone is sufficient in identifying it as the scarce limited 
edition. Very light, scattered foxing. Some darkening to the vellum. 
Near Fine.         $1,000.00
