Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Large Folio, 16 3/4 x 12 7/8 in. (428 x 324 mm). 62 hand colored aquatints, including one title page "Ruines de Rome. Published by J. Hearne. 218 Tottenham Court Road."; Colophon: "Printed by W.

Later half calf, re-hinged, with gilt tooling; marbled boards, somewhat rubbed with chips on the boards; matching endpapers; 5 raised bands with elegant gilt tooling in compartments, gilt titling, all edges marbled.
