London and South Western Railway Time Tables. 1st October 1907 to 31st May 1908 or until further notice. [Bound with] ... 1st June to 30th September 1908 ... [and] 1st October 1908 to 31st May 1909 ...

London, London and South Western Railway, 1907 and 1908.

Quarto, three volumes bound as one, 4, A-S, 5-172 pages with 2 large double-sided folding maps; 4, A-K, 3-192 pages with 2 large double-sided folding maps plus a leaf of advertisements (for White Star Line steamers); and 4, A-C, Ca-Cb, D-G, 3-192 pages with 2 large double-sided folding maps. The original full-colour wrappers and three-colour maps are included in the pagination.

Early half leather and marbled papered boards, later rebacked with cloth, retaining most of the original backstrip; new endpapers; leather corners and original backstrip a little worn; acidic paper a little tanned and brittle (with insignificant short tears to some edges); text at the foot of the wrappers slightly shaved when rebound; rear wrapper of the third time table a little soiled, with an old tape repair; overall, in excellent condition.

The foot of the retained backstrip is stamped in gilt 'Supt. [Superintendent] of Line'; this might explain why these three handsome Edwardian time tables from the heyday of the London and South Western Railway are in such wonderful shape.
