An facsimile copy of Thomas Phillipps' documentation of the heraldic visitations, being a zincograph facsimile. A zincograph facsimile of Thomas Phillipps own handwritten catalogue of those who usurped the names and titles of gentlemen without authority and were disclaimed in the heraldic visitations. Beginning with the 1620 visitation of Devon and Cornwall. Printed at the Middle Hill Press, or Typis Medio-Montanis, Thomas Phillipps' printing house that he founded in 1822, intended to record his book holdings, and to publish his works on topography and genealogy. The press was in Broadway Tower, a folly in Worcestershire that served as a country retreat for artists like William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. Phillipps was an impressive book collector. He had inherited a substantial estate and spent most of it on vellum manuscripts. Over his life he collected forty-thousand printed books, and sixty-thousand manuscripts. In the original paper covered boards. Externally, boards are held by cords only. Paper to the spine is lifting. Some discolouration to the boards. Internally, binding is a little strained. Pages are bright with some spots. Fair. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 651P24
