A 'unfiltered' look at Regency London in marvellous aquatints. Description: 2 vols., later (c. 1900) crimson morocco by Tout & Sons, sides and board edges filleted in gilt, raised bands with gilt-ruled rectangles in six comparments on spine and gilt lettering. Red silk endpapers and pastedowns filleted in gilt. Octavo: 22 × 14 cm; pp. (vol.1): xii, 619, [1]; (vol.2): xi, 660. With 31 hand-colored aquatint plates (incl. frontispieces) by John Augustus Atkinson, under captioned tissue guards. Top edge gilt. Ref.: Abbey 323; Rossetti 714; VD17 7:692863P Provenance: Bookplate of E.H. Hill to 3rd. flyleaf. Condition: Some minor wear to covers, superficial splits to upper joints. Contents with occasional minor blemish but generally clean. Aquatints in bright colours, with no offsetting.
