Milestones to the Silver Jubilee : A Diary of the Nation

400pp. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine (a little rubbed at edges, slightly faded along top edge and a few mild marks). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a little foxing, restricted to endpapers and prelims, and a previous owner's name on half title page. Decorated and illustrated by Eugene Hastain. Elegant, coloured endpaper decorations, making this an attractive volume. A gazette style account of the reign of George V and his achievements and impact both on the nation and the monarchy, told step by step as a marker for moments to be celebrated during his Jubilee Year of 1935.
