<p>[QUOTE="McAdder, post: 474026, member: 7942"]Your pictures are quite blurry, but i would not doubt that this is from 1896. This kind of paper was used for books with many illustrations and can look like new today. The binding also looks correct for the time, maybe somebody didn't like the original cover or wanted it to be uniform in his library (or a public library). At that time its also quite common that there is a cheap cloth bound version, a more expensive half leather like yours and maybe a even more expensive full leather version for the same book.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think <a href="https://archive.org/details/royalacademypict1896roya" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/royalacademypict1896roya" rel="nofollow">this</a> is your book, where did you find a version with a plan in it? Its also not unusual that plans were taken out and got lost, or that someone added a plan he purchased separately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
