Description

The complete collection of Weale's Quarterly Papers On Architecture 1844-45, bound in four volumes with numerous engravings "many of which are coloured". Possibly publisher's original boards, but definitely a candidate for rebinding. Weale's papers are a thing of wonder, with wide-ranging features on aspects of architecture and numerous illustrations, many in striking colour. Text pages are toned but in general good order, some remaining uncut. Illustrations vary from clean and bright to heavily foxed, as seems common with all copies, though relatively few of the latter. Blue paper covered boards with quarter blue cloth to spine. All heavily worn with some near detached. Still serviceable, but ideal for rebinding and would make a handsome set thus. 4to.
