Treasure Chest Thursday - The Spectator 1712 - 1713


This lovely book is 300 years old. Isn't that fabulous. Not in the very best of conditions, but that is OK with me!







At some point over the last 300 years it has experienced damp and obviously endured some water spillage. I purchased this in the Spring of 1997 and since I owned it it has lived in our breakfast room display unit away from direct sunlight or heat.
