Description
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with unmarked black cloth boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with very minor creasing to upper edge. 323pp. Detailed study of the Martin brothers in the 19th century - William the inventor who had to improve any piece of machinery he saw, Richard the soldier in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo, Jonathan the hellfire preacher and John the intellectual who masterminded an entire genre of painting. Interspersed with their story is the industrial, political and artistic ferment of early 19th century Britain.
