About this Item

The first work (Memorials) with tinted lithographic title page, letterpess dedication, 19 lithographic plates each with an accompanying leaf of letterpress; 1 engraved plate of seals. The second work (History of Winchester College pub. Ackermann) consists of a letterpress title page followed by 56 pages of letterpress text, but without the plates to this work. Our research suggests that the "Memorials" was issued in 8 parts during 1846 each presumably with a total of 24 litho plates, so 4 plates were not bound in. (it is clear from the binding that no plates have been removed from the book). A fine contemporary binding of sage green morocco with elaborate gilt work to the boards, gilt dentelles and wide gilt vine-leaf decorated turn-ins; rebacked to style with five raised bands. All edges gilt, marbled end papers. Contents good and tight, some foxing and spotting, more pronounced to early and later pages, small tear to front blank which is somewhat toned. Provenance: in manuscript to the verso of the front free end paper Alice L. Shirley - Belonged to her Father Fred Bell Pryor.to which added in pencil Born 1822, College 1835.
