Recettes

1857 — 16mo., with an engraved frontispiece (original tissue guard present), engraved and printed titles, and 34 wood-engraved illustrations in the text, wanting Q8, some mild and occasional age-staining, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper; original dark green cloth, boards elaborately blocked in blind, gilt back, neatly recased, a very good, tight copy. This attractive and compact edition of a culinary staple is enhanced by an unusual hunting scene as frontispiece; the title-vignette depicts a table of wildfowl and short quotation from Suckling. This must have been one of last the issues of Rundell before the onset of Beeton. This edition not in Cagle. Scarce.
