Bound in half-morocco over marbled boards, gilt titles to spine. Some wear to outer hinges and head and tail of spine. Early ownership signature in ink to verso of title page. Slight foxing as is normal, and a few stains, but a good copy., A good copy of this view book of early 19th century Kent. The title page calls for 50 plates including the maps but, even including the engraved frontispiece, no copy we have seen accounts for more than 48, as here. The directions to the binder at the rear only call for 44, which are all present For some reason two plates were never issued, as noted in Smith's bibliography.
