Add to basketFirst edition; folio (56.4 x 44.5 cm); complete with 7 stone-tinted lithographs including title page and letterpress leaf, extra illustrated with hand-coloured view of the interior of Crystal palace, and a woodblock showing one of the Chinese costumes exhibited in 1851, endpapers a little torn; original cloth backed printed boar…ds, rebacked with remains of spine preserved, very good. A lovely clean copy of this scarce set of unusual views of the Crystal Palace which hosted The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851. With an additional hand-coloured lithograph by Augustus Butler and published by Stannard and Dixon titled 'Interior of the Crystal Palace', and woodblock of a Chinese costume exhibited in 1851. Abbey erroneously states that the first three views are displayed in the title. In fact the title is the first listed and there are six further individual lithographs, as delineated in the letterpress. Rare, only 1 UK institutional copy (University of Reading) and not in the BL or V&A. Abbey Scenery 244.
