A propos de cet article

George Walker's vanishingly scarce discussion of important works of art produced in the later decades of the eighteenth century. A vanishingly scarce work. Part the First of a work intended to extend to three parts. There is no evidence the two subsequent parts were ever published.A discussion of important paintings produced by the 'most esteemed masters of the Italian, French, Flemish, Dutch, and British Schools, selected during a period of thirty year'.Interleaved with blanks, as is noted by the British Library.With a prospectus of "A Descriptive Catalogue of the Royal Collection of Pictures at Windsor Castle" to the rear, as called for.With a contemporary inscription to a front blank.Retaining the original half title. In a full calf binding, with gilt detailing. Small loss of leather to back strip head, with rubbing to joints. Front hinge strained, but firmly held. Inscription to a front blank. Small closed tear to gutter of half title. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned - prominently to perimeters of title page - with light spotting and the odd handling mark. Very Good.
