Trattato dei Diritti Delle Donne in Materia Civile e Commerciale. Prima Versione Italiana, col confronto delle leggi del regno delle due Sicilie.
Palermo: Tipografia di Michele Amenta, 1856. Hardcover. xiii, 228p., main text (the translation) is typeset in double-column, hardbound in 9x6 inch boards with a beautifully-tooled dark blue pressed-calf spine panel. sewn textblock, threads look good, the block itself is somewhat rippled with occasional toning (where inferior paper was used) and a few spots of dirt. Binding as it stands is handleable, but find an odd problem: spine panel is adhered perfectly and is undamaged and bright, but the boards were never finished off. Text is cased into unfinished cardstock with bindery uglinesses left open to view. No endsheets; endsheets often hide the scrap that binders use prior to "finishing" a handmade book. Hard to describe. As is; we have never before seen the same sort of as-is-ness. Reading copy.
