London: Virtue and Company, c.1880 First edition. Volumes 2 and 3 only. Undated but circa 1880. HB. Red textured cloth with leather spines and corners, gilt titles and decorations to spine, gilt borders to main covers; all edges gilt. Large Folio volumes. The two volumes contain 80 Superb full page plates engraved from Turner's paintings by various engravers.Maoinly British Views but with some seascapes and some mythological scenes. Each engraving is printed on card, with a guard leaf, and is followed by a half page of text by Monkhouse. Only volume 3 has a title page, and it has yellow endpapers, whereas vol.2 has marbled endpapers. (the title page of vol.2 was perhaps not present, as it does not appear to have been lost). Good condition overall. The contents are very good, with clean pages with only occasional handling marks or light brown spots, except for the prelims of Vol 3 which have heavier foxing; the plates are well printed sharp and bright. The binding is sound though the covers fair only and worn - but generally clean, with a few small spots or marks; the leather is rubbed and scuffed, especially to the spines, which have tears to the edges; gilt reasonaably bright. Very heavy volumes may require extra postage. Pictures available
