Extra-illustrated with forty three engraved plates all hand-coloured and with tissue guards. Text in double columns, ruled in red. Contemporary red morocco, gilt panels to boards, with decorated edge and corner pieces. Spine with raised bands, lavishly decorated in gilt. Marbled endpapers. Recent repairs to joints at head and foot of spine, corners repaired and some of the gilt retouched. Ownership inscription of "Jane Lloyd. The gift of her mother Annabella Williams 1791". Title page has ownership inscription of Jane Lloyd Swan Hill and Bridgett Lytton.Internally in very good condition throughout and the hand-coloured engravings are beautifully preserved. The images show scenes from the Bible relating to the readings for the particular Sundays and Holy Days. There are images of various saints whose feasts are kept in the Church of England and, in acknowledgement of the established nature of the English Church, there are engravings of Queen Anne and of the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot, the Martyrdom of Charles I and the Restoration of Charles II. We have been unable to trace the artist but the work is of good quality and the hand colouring is gorgeously rich and vibrant.

About Voewood Rare Books

Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
