1892 Christopher Columbus Journal - First English Edition In Original Box

My Secrete Log Boke Columbus, Christopher SEYPPEL, Karl Maria
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First English edition. Ca. 1892 - "discovered" 400 years after 1492. Lithographically printed to imitate a hand-written manuscript on distressed parchment, including on front paste down with numerous initials, head and tail pieces, and illustrations within the text including a full page map; also loosely inserted are two lithographic "letters", one on parchment and one on paper. The parchment document with red and white silk thread and retaining remains of waxed seal, though seemingly missing the seal itself. Some light "faux" foxing throughout. Book will come in a wooden box that would be similar to one found aboard a ship. Shows average wear and is meant to look old.
