A propos de cet article

A good copy of the very scarce 1st edition with 39 (of 41) folding plates. At the time this book was published, Batty Langley (1696-1751) was a designer of landscape gardens with particular interest in classical proportion and design. It was his first published work, and many of plates show designs for gardens and garden ornamentation. He later moved into architecture. This copy has contemporary panelled calf boards and a newer matching spine with raised bands and title label. The boards are scuffed and there is some ring marking on the back board, but they are bright and clean. The corners have been rebuilt. Internally the endpapers have been retained with taping at the joints. There are some ink sums on the rear pastedown and a little marking on the front free endpaper. Contents: rubricated title; dedication 2pp; Preface pp i-viii; Table of Contents with errata 8pp; text pp 1-136 with some plates in the text and a series of plates at the rear. Plates 30 and 40 are missing. Text with decorative initial capitals, headpieces and tailpieces. There is some mispagination (89-78-79-92 and 95-66-97) but the text is continuous. There is some annotation - generally sums and figures in the margins - at pp 111/112 some of the ink has run and blotched. There is some staining and marking - with a larger stain in the top gutter and edge at pp 43-66, and some persistent staining in the bottom corners. There are some professional paper repairs: the gutter of the title page and some of the plates - mainly to edges not affecting the subject apart from plate32 where there is small loss on the design. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images to further assess condition.…

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.…
