Beautiful leather bound spine with leather board corners.


This rare antique book estimated to be c. 1873 titled "The Popular Recreator: A Key to Indoor & Outdoor Amusements" is a must-have for any collector of antiquarian and collectable books. It features a leather binding and is written in English, with special attributes including being a 1st edition and containing illustrations.


With an unknown author and published by Cassell, this book explores different ways to have fun both inside and outside, providing a glimpse into pastimes and games popular during that time. Whether you're a collector or just interested in the history of leisure activities, this book is a unique addition to any collection.


The first three pages are showing wear and tears; the rest of the book is in exceptional condition for age. The bind is still connected and although weakening the books spine is still in great shape. It’s fragile but a beautiful specimen and as far as my research shows very scarce.
