Description: London 1877 Henry S. King. Hardcover. Hardcover. 12mo (4-1/2 x 6 1/2 inches), 161pp., 4pp. (ads). Finely bound in Full leather with fancy gilt border and gilt design on spine. On front fore-edge--the closed page ends-- (about one inch high by 6 inches long) there is an ORIGINAL full-color PAINTING showing a green field with fence and sheep and a man with a black hat fornicating (a soldier? a bishop?) with a mostly clothed maiden on top of a drum. THE PICTURE IS TOTALLY INVISIBLE until one slightly fans or bends the text block - then the image suddenly appears. The painting itself is Fine and of high quality with surprisingly fine detail. Book itself is Very Near Fine, one half-inch closed tear on front blank end paper and a small spot on end paper from glue residue. No owner marks. Text is clean and bright as new. Amazing--has to be seen! The painting is totally invisible until the spine is slightly tilted. Pictures sent on request.
