Tunbridge Wells, And Neighbourhood, Illustrated By A Series Of Etchings, And Historical Descriptions. The Etchings Executed By Letitia Byrne..
Bound in contemporary red half morocco over marbled boards, probably by the publisher. Spine in compartments and titles and decoration in gilt with a decorative paper title label to upper board. Mostly found with foxing and browning to text and plates, this copy appears less affected than most. A very good copy. This example has wider margins than other copies that I have had in the past, and my well be a large paper copy.

Notes
A scarce work which lists 196 subscribed copies, making it likely that only 200 or so copies were produced. The charming illustrations focus on the gentlemen's seats which abound in the neighbourhood. Sadly, as one of the best view books of this part of the county, a large number of copies of this work have been broken-up for the plates but it is here presented in its complete and original state
