Add to basketFirst edition, first printing. Presentation binding for Sir Brynmor Jones. Bound in full blue morocco by Dunn and Wilson, lettered and ruled to the front panel in gilt. Inner dentelles to board edges and also bordering the morocco presentation label to the front pastedown. Marbled endpapers. A fine copy, the binding square and f…irm, the contents clean throughout. Faded to the spine. As the preface to this nicely produced little volume explains, on 9th of November, 1899 "Bridlington became a borough, and it seems fitting that the jubilee of that important event in the town's history should be commemorated by the publication of this book, a record and perhaps to some a revelation of 50 years of civic progress." Fittingly, the book is filled with illustrations of Bridlington's architecture and landscapes. This specially bound copy was presented to Brynmor Jones, Vice Chancellor at the University of Hull, on 6th May, 1966, on the occasion of his opening new extensions to Bridlington Public Library. Loosely laid in is the printed invitation to the ceremony, signed by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Bridlington. Sir Brynmor Jones (19031989), was born in North Wales and educated at University College of Wales at Bangor and at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1947 he became a professor chair at University College, where he later became Dean of Science, Deputy Principal. When the college achieved full university status in 1954, he became iPro-Vice-Chancellor and, in 1956, Vice-Chancellor. The expanded University of Hull Library, famously presided over by the poet, Philip Larkin, was named after Jones in 1967.
