About This Item
England, 1913. Hardcover. Near Fine. Signed full contemporary morocco, initials "E. P." and date stamped in gilt on front board; 225 x 150 mm; hand-illuminated Edwardian manuscript and photograph album titled, "Book of Memories." Belonging to John Paget, this book is a testament to the domestic pleasures of country life, with photographs of country houses (inside and out), garden and landscape views, children, horses, dogs, and fox hunting scenes. Carefully executed illuminated manuscript pages have been added, along with an occasional watercolor or pastel crayon drawing. Places include Oxon Hoath, Shopwyke House, Mount Pleasant, Leigh Park, Sulby Hall, and others. A little scuffed along joints and edges, otherwise fine. A lavish volume.
