Beschreibung

A handsome first edition copy of Geraldine Mitton's charming historical, picturesque and geographical account of the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire; with coloured plates by the renowned English watercolour landscape painter, Sutton Palmer. Geraldine Edith Mitton (G. E. Mitton) was a notable English novelist, biographer and editor, who wrote copious guide-books throughout her career. Harold Sutton Palmer specialised in idyllic rustic landscapes painted in watercolours, with many of his works being included in A & C Black's travel guides (such as this work). Widely praised for his beautiful paintings of Surrey, Berkshire, Devon, The Lake District, and Yorkshire, Sutton's works can now be found in such renowned art galleries as the Victoria and Albert Museum, and also in private collections. Collated, complete with sixty beautiful coloured plates, and a folding sketch map to the rear of the work. In the publisher's beautiful decorative cloth binding, with elaborate design to the front board and spine. In the publisher's original cloth binding with decorative boards. Externally excellent, with minor shelfwear to extremities and slight bumping to head and tail of spine. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with only the odd light spot to the occasional page. Very Good Indeed.
