Item Description
Large folio. 12 x 19 inches. [ii] + [12] pp. + [1]. Unpaginated. Frontispiece and 11 fine large etched engravings.
Notes
A scarce work. The list of subscribers accounts for 125 copies, of which 70 are proofs and it is likely that only 200 or so were printed. The engravings are very fine and interesting and are in the style of the picturesque works coming back from the antique lands of the Grand Tour.
