Sobre este artículo
Bath: Not stated, 1798-99. Leather. Very Good. 8.5" by 5.5". Not stated. A very smart, second edition set of these eighteenth-century topographical works about Wales, written by Reverend Richard Warner. A set of topographical and local interest works regarding South Wales and the Southwest of England. Including A Walk Through Wales, published in 1798 and A Second Walk Through Wales, published in 1799. Both written and published by Reverend Richard Warner (1763-1857) an English clergyman and antiquarian who wrote many topographical works during his lifetime. Including a frontispiece to each volume and in-text illustrations. Containing the bookplates of Harold E. Matthews and John Phillips Esq. of Edstone to the front pastedowns of each volume. This copy came from the library at Julians Park, Hertfordshire, the previous home of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie (1902-1968). She was an English socialite and through her mother was the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII. Uniformly bound in half calf binding with marbled boards. Externally, smart, with some rubbing to the joints, spines, and extremities of each volume. Bookplates of previous owners to the front pastedowns of each volume. Internally, front hinges to both volumes strained but firm. Both volumes firmly bound. Some offsetting to the first few pages of each volume, otherwise pages are generally clean. Very Good
