This antiquarian book is an 1857 Victorian edition of 'Nineveh and Its Palaces' by Joseph Bonomi, published by H. G. Bohn. Fully bound in tan calfskin with a matte leather finish, the volume presents a gentleman's library design aesthetic. The photograph shows a vertical tan calfskin spine with five raised bands, intricate gilt-stooled floral motifs in the compartments, and a black leather title label bearing the gilt text 'NINEVEH AND ITS PALACES'. Blind-tooled ornamentation decorates the tan calfskin cover board, while light surface wear and minor edge rubbing are visible on the spine ends. Measuring 17 cm high and 12 cm wide, this compact piece sits on a bookshelf in a study, library, or living room. The contents comprise paper pages with marbled edges and marbled endpapers, alongside a prize inscription dated 1863 and light spotting on preliminary pages.

FAQs

During the mid-19th century, archaeological discoveries in Mesopotamia led to a surge in public interest regarding ancient civilisations, resulting in richly detailed scholarly and decorative volumes published across Britain.

High-grade calfskin or morocco leather was stretched over rigid paperboard covers, complemented by hand-applied gold leaf tooling and black or red leather spine lettering pieces.

Authentic bindings typically feature raised spine bands corresponding to internal sewing structure, genuine leaf gilding that shows subtle irregularities, and period-appropriate typography or crest embossing.

Grouping leather-bound volumes on coffee tables, console tables, or styled bookshelves introduces rich warmth, texture, and historical narrative to contemporary living spaces.

Volumes should be kept away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, stored upright on shelves with adequate support, and treated occasionally with specialist leather dressing if recommended by a conservator.
