A propos de cet article

A very good copy in contemporary full calf binding. Originally issued in 60 parts, this work claims to be a comprehensive and accurate picture of Great Britain and Ireland. In reality the work mostly covers England with very small sections on everywhere else. There does not appear to be a definitive collation. There are directions to the binder but these number the contents 1-60, probably reflecting the 60 part issue and are very difficult to relate to the actual maps and scenes. This copy has: frontispiece; engraving to the preface; 2 folding maps of England and Wales; 29 single view plates; 52 double view plates; 4 triple view plates; 4 single page county maps; 12 double county map pages; 2 triple county map pages; 3 quad county map pages; and one page of portraits. The binding has been rebacked preserving the original spine and rebuilding the corners. It is in full calf with an intricate panelled diamond design to the boards, and with raised bands, title label and further diamond patterning to the spine. There is some scuffing and surface damage, particularly to the front board. All page edges are reddened. New endpapers have been added. Contents with frontispiece; title; preface; introduction; text with maps and plates in 5 parts of which Part I is in 4 books and covers most of England; directions to binder; list of subscribers. The publisher's catalogue is not present. The contents are very clean. There is some persistent worming which is present to around p 429. Fortunately the animal(s) have moved vertically so the damage consists of a few tiny holes. Professional paper repair has been done to some of these as well to the bottom corner of the frontispiece and the title, and occasionally elsewhere. P 503 has lost the top of the bottom corner and there is a mispagination - p 252 is numbered 452. The view of Westminster has been strangely bound in the section on Northumberland. Please enquire if you would like to see further images.…

Description de la boutique

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
