Beautiful antique “Sunset” autograph album published by Pollitt & Conomy, featuring a richly embossed burgundy cloth cover with a striking sunrise (or sunset) over water and floral motif in gilt.
An interior advertisement notes this volume was one of three matching editions: Sunrise, Noon, and Sunset, making it an appealing piece for collectors of Victorian stationery and antique gift books.
This example remains largely unused, with many blank pages still intact. The first pages show foxing and age-related staining, while the decorative cover retains much of its original gilt detail. The binding is fragile with separation visible at the front hinge, so please review photographs carefully.
