About This Item
Winchester: Published by the author, 1891. Quarto, pp (4), 22, + 224 hand-coloured plates, the text and the first plate just slightly foxed, otherwise very clean internally, all edges gilt and slightly discoloured, blue cloth with green lettering and a simple gilt floral motif, the spine dull and very slightly worn at top and bottom, the spine and the lower cover slightly spotted and slightly unevenly faded. Several internal hinges are a little open but not in any way weak. The plates are simply drawn but quite satisfying. [The author was a vicar at Sparsholt, near Winchester. His drawings are lodged at the British Museum (N.H.)]. First Edition. Cloth. Good.
