A one-of-a-kind archival set for the discerning collector of Irish history or fine antiquarian bindings. This 1845 edition of Tales and Stories of Ireland has been beautifully and professionally restored to ensure its preservation for another century.
The Volume:
The original, heavily aged spine has been "laid down" onto a new, structurally sound, hand-stitched binding. The boards have been recovered in a premium, textured Japanese Silk, offering a sophisticated tactile experience that complements the book's 180-year-old patina.

Unique to this listing, the original 1845 covers have been preserved and are included with the book. These original boards feature a significant handwritten provenance: a clear inscription dated "November 20, 1846," placing this copy in the hands of its first owner during the height of the Great Famine in Ireland.
