Descrizione

4to., First Edition, with 566 photographs in the text; strongly bound in early twentieth century half calf, cloth boards, neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, a very good, clean copy. Barker's massive photographic compendium is arranged as a gazetteer 'giving an account of every town and village in the Western Division of the county, a description of every church (whether now used or in ruins), and a short account of the old castles, monasteries, halls and other buildings. Also containing allusions to all the chief historical events with which this very interesting part of East Anglia is associated, and notes on the family history, and archaeological discoveries in the district'. 'Many of the [very numerous] views have been specially produced, at great expense, to render the work more attractive, complete, and up-to-date.' Extremely scarce, especially in this condition. Steward, 548.
