This is an interesting handwritten journal, titled “A Personal Journal of a Tour to Belgium & the Rhine with my Father, September, 1830, R. Wright”. 139 pages, in 1/4 leather on marbled boards. The spine is deteriorating, but still holding. Moderate wear at the edges all around. But the contents are quite clean and legible.
