Description

First Edition. Laid in this copy is a bright and colourful advertising leaf for Black's book on the Arms of the Cambridge colleges. With 77 very fine colourplates from the paintings of William Matthison and a folding map. Large 8vo, in the original beautifully decorated blue cloth, the upper cover and spine with a motif featuring lamps of wisdom, harps, pens, globes and other symbols of higher learning in gilt, light blue and maroon, and with lettering in gilt, t.e.g. xx, 396 pp. An especially clean, fine, handsome and appealing copy, the cloth bright and attractive with little evidence of age at all, the text is also unusually clean with just a bare hint of occasional foxing, much less then typical.
