Description

4 vols. in 2., 12mo., First Edition, with very numerous fine wood-engraved illustrations (many full-page) in the text; handsomely bound in contemporary full tan calf, sides with double frame border stopped at corners with rosettes all in gilt, backs elaborately tooled and ruled in gilt with green leather labels framed and lettered in gilt, marbled edges, gilt dentelles, doublures tooled in blind, marbled endpapers, a near fine set in splendid period binding. A beautiful set, presented by William Windham to W Wilbraham Ford on the latter's leaving Eton at Christmas 1864. Windham's signed holograph inscription appears on a blank preliminary of the Thames volume; Ford's signature appears on blank preliminary of the second volume. The two Thames volumes are bound as one, as are the Avon and Adur volumes . A SPLENDID AND ELEGANT SET. Anderson, p. 36.
