Publisher
Printed by Nichols, Son, and Bentley
Language
English
Binding
Elephantine Folio (20" x 27") Rebacked in quarter tan calf with corners, blindstamp rule to leather edges, over marbled boards. Spine with gilt title on red leather towards center of the spine. An untrimmed example. [2], 20, 7, [1] pp. + 19 engraved plates (including some double-page) drawn by John Carter and engraved by James Basire. Text by Sir H.C. Englefield and Richard Gough. Bound in period marbled boards, rebacked in calf in the 20th century. First edition of this rarely-encountered work on the architecture of St. Albans. The present example is a large, untrimmed copy, and we presume one of very few (if any) that remain in this state. Of even further interest here is the presence of 7 large (mostly) plates laid in at front by a previous owner or researcher, apparently all relating to St. Albans. Boards quite rubbed, edges worn. Contents with foxing and some offsetting, most plates with light faded water-stain to lower margin (see pic).
