Vintage "Eighty Miles Around London" Hardcover Book | Gilt Pictorial Castle Cover

This vintage hardcover edition of Eighty Miles Around London is a wonderful find for collectors of British history, vintage travel literature, and antique books.

The volume features a handsome light blue-grey cloth binding accented with bright gold gilt lettering and framing. The striking focal point of the front cover is a large pasted-down black-and-white photographic plate of a classic, imposing English stone castle (resembling the historic Norman keep of Rochester Castle). It is an excellent, highly visual display piece for a library shelf, office desk, or a vintage travel-themed vignette.
