Descripción

Sm. 4to., Second Edition, with a frontispiece and 98 fine plates [all complete], title very lightly spotted; original pictorial cloth, upper board blocked and lettered in gilt and black, backstrip blocked and lettered in gilt, bevelled boards, red edges, chocolate endpapers, joints lightly rubbed, top and fore-edge faded, upper joint just starting (but binding entirely sound) else a remarkably bright, clean copy. With the two leaves of advertisements at rear (the first for Great Eastern Railway; the second for the publisher's catalogue). Despite the title-page only 99 plates (including the frontispiece) are called for. This glorious photographic depiction of Broadland was first published in 1891; a third edition (apparently rather more common) appeared in 1897. Very scarce, especially in this condition. Darroch & Taylor 334 (recording only the third edition); not in Steward.
