Description
First and only edition of this collection of carefully rendered yet somewhat naive lithographic views of York churches. 23 plates, including the frontispiece, each accompanied by a page of letterpress description. Complete with the 24th and final plate, which was published as an afterthought and thus is not included in the list of plates. A LARGE-PAPER COPY, WITH THE PLATES IN INDIA PROOF STATE. With the bookplate of John Tricks Spalding. 4to. Attractively bound in 19th century half crushed morocco and cloth, WITH SPALDING'S INITIALS, IN STYLIZED LETTERS, BEAUTIFULLY LAID INTO THE FRONT COVER IN MOROCCO. Light wear to extremities of binding, light occasional internal spotting. Plates bright and fine. A very good copy of a rare book.
