The History of the Wine Trade in England
Wyman & Sons, 1906.
Three volumes, all first editions. Original dark green cloth titled in gilt. Top edge gilt. Twenty photographic plates, plus a fold out panoramic view of Bordeaux in 1669 in volume three. A very good set with spines a little dulled and minor wear to the corners. New endpapers to volume one. Covers bright and internally tight and clean.
Simon's monumental early work on the wine trade, comprehensively covering it in all its forms from the earliest time to the end of the seventeenth century. Rarely encountered as a complete work due to the poor selling of the first volume.
"Volume I sold so poorly that the 'prints' of Vols. II and III were drastically reduced. Consequently Vols. II and III are rare, although Vol. I can sometimes be found. Essential reference works." - Gabler (Wine into Words)
