C1910-c1952 12Vols Various Authors Beautiful Britain Set With Colour Plates deals

With duplicate copies in various editions of several works.

With watercolours by the likes of E.W. Haslehust, the set offers ornate depictions and descriptions of several counties, cities and towns which were deemed appropriately picturesque for the series, including Cambridge, Wincheser and Bath.

As such, there are colour plates of the likes of Pulteney Bridge, Winchester Catheral and Peterhouse College, places that were largely untouched by the conflicts and turmoil of the last centuries.

The full list of work included here is as follows:

Channel Islands (Joseph E. deals Morris) 1911

Winchester (Norah Baldwin Martin) c1952, with dustwrapper Condition Report: In decorative cloth binding, with three original dustwrappers. Externally sound, there is wear to the boards, joints, extremtiies and backstrip, with some strain to hinges. The dustwrappers have some age-toning and closed tears and chipping to the Bath and Wells and Winchester editions, with some loss to the latter and clipping to former. Internally, the pages are generally firmly bound and largely bright and clean, although there are instances of spotting throughout. Overall: Very Good
