1879 Scientific Lectures by Sir John Lubbock

19th century
Description

'Scientific Lectures; by Sir John Lubbock, published 1879 by Macmillan & Co.

Sir John Lubbock was a British archaeologist and amateur naturalist. He is perhaps best known for his research into the stone age, coining the terms ‘Palaeolithic’ and ‘Neolithic’. In 1874, Lubbock published Scientific Lectures, a collection of lectures delivered on his dual passions. The book contained lectures on botany, entomology and prehistory. This second edition was published in 1879 with a third printed in 1906.

This volume is fully bound in tan calf leather with armorial of King Edward IV School, Grantham in gilt to the front board. Five raised bands and gilt decoration to the spine. Marbled page edges. Light shelf wear to the extremities and areas of discolouration to the front board.

Tight binding. Marbled endpapers. Prize plate to front pastedown. Some spotting to the preliminary pages but clean and bright thereafter.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian scientific publications were produced during an era of significant academic expansion, frequently featuring durable full or half-leather bindings with ornate gilt spine lettering and embossed covers.

Nineteenth-century bookbinding typically utilised calfskin, goat leather, or vellum over heavy millboard, stitched with linen thread, with decorative elements applied using gold leaf foil.

Authentic bindings show genuine spine raised bands created by sewing cords, natural age-related patination or surface craquelure, period typographical fonts, and original publisher or binder blind-stamping.

Leather-bound volumes can be displayed in curated groupings on open shelving, layered horizontally on a console table, or positioned on a desk surface to provide textural contrast.

Books should be stored vertically away from direct sunlight and heat sources, maintained in stable humidity, and handled with clean, dry hands to prevent natural oils from degrading the leather.
