I would appreciate any thoughts/information on price for this folio sized book, either through knowledge of past auctions, sales or experience. I have only found institutional holdings.
This copy is the 2nd edition dated 1733 and lacks 4 of the 97 plates. I have just had it rebound in reverse calf with the remains of the original leather boards laid down.
Thank you

I have a copy of "Portrait in Oil" by Hartzell Spence, McGraw-Hill, 1962. Underneath the words "First Edition" is the number 60075. Is this an indication of a later printing? I see that McGraw-Hill states in the First Edition Identification book that they do use a number line to indicate subsequent printings, but this isn't the typical 1-10 line you normally see. Could this indicate a 6th printing from 1975? The book does look a bit more recent than 1962, but there is no ISBN found on the jacket or book anywhere. Thanks.
