Description

First Edition. With engraved title-page vignette, vignette at the finish, and sixty wonderfully detailed and delicate plates of splendid Italian views engraved by Charles Heath, Edward Finden, George Corbould and others. With descriptions written ?by a friend of the Publisher?s?. 4to, in contemporary fine full brown calf, the boards richly tooled in a herringbone-like pattern within ornate frame in blind, and with a triple-ruled gilt outer framework, the spine with elaborate floral gilt tooled compartments separated by wide raised band gilt tooled, and with a black morocco gilt lettered and ruled label, board edges gilt tooled, turn-ins ruled in gilt, marble endpapers and page edges. [vi], 197pp. A very attractive and fine copy of this scarce book. The plates are very clean and fresh with strong bold impressions, the text is very fresh too but sometimes with offsetting from the plates as is common, the impressive binding with some general wear and age but still sturdy, strong and attractive.
