Bemerkung:

Gegenüber der EA von 1902 ergänzte Ausgabe, sehr selten.- "The President and Committee of the Livery Club have much pleasure in issuing this new Edition of the Handbook, wherein will be found historical notes concerning the Company, its ancient Charters, Bye-laws, Roll of Members, etc., together with a record of some recent occurrences" (preface).- "The Worshipful Company of Musicians is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. Its history dates back to at least 1350. Originally a specialist guild for musicians, its role became an anachronism in the 18th century, when the centre of music making in London moved from the City to the West End, and for more than a century it was a general guild for figures in the City, with no specific musical role. In the late 19th century, the musical element was revived, and the modern Company promotes all aspects of the art and science of music" (wikipedia).- Auf Büttenpapier gedruckt.- Vereinzelt leicht stock- bzw. fingerfleckig, sonst innen wohlerhalten.
