Description

A History and Description of the Collie or Sheepdog In His British Varieties, Rawdon Lee. 1890.
This Collie history book was published by Horace Cox, "The Field" Office 346, Strand, W.C.
The book has 157 pages plus various bound-in dog related advertisements.
This book features several lovely Arthur Wardle  illustrations, see photograph for the list of Illustrations.
Rawdon Lee included a separate chapter in his book featuring the Smooth-coated Collie.
The book also includes a chapter on the Old English "Bob-tailed" Sheep Dog.
Do allow the enlargeable photographs to serve as a descriptive guide to this book and ask questions prior to its purchase.
A previous owner's name and the date 1920 appear on a blank end page.
The tissue guard between the title page and an illustration is loose though present.
This could be a great book to add to a  private collection of Collie history books or to a collection of Collie antiques and collectibles.
This book could also be a great item to offer in a fundraising benefit event for the breed.
And the Rawdon Lee book could be a nice addition to a Collie Club library or an historic archive.
