Tombleson's Views of the Rhine — Complete 2-Volume Set (1832) A Magnificent, Complete 19th-Century Travel Masterpiece Acquire this scarce, complete two-volume set of Tombleson's Views of the Rhine. This comprehensive travel guide to the public buildings, antiquities, and commerce along the banks of the Rhine is a hallmark of Victorian-era travel literature. It remains one of the most visually stunning records of the Rhine Valley ever produced. Collector Highlights: Complete Set: Includes both volumes, presented in the original cloth binding. Cartographic Detail: Volume II features the highly sought-after folding map of the Upper Rhine, a critical piece often missing from lesser copies. Extensive Illustration: A visual tour-de-force featuring 137 plates with original vignette title pages. Distinguished Provenance: Includes the original Dawson's Bookshop (Los Angeles) ticket on the rear pastedown, a mark of established history for this set. Condition & Material Details: State: Very Good. Notes: The set is uncut and untrimmed, preserving its original 1832 character. The covers show expected, honest edge wear consistent with the period. The inner hinges are cracked—a common occurrence for bindings of this weight—but the text block remains clean and structurally sound. The interior is largely bright, with the desirable, light foxing primarily relegated to the edges of the plates. An elite acquisition for private libraries focusing on 19th-century travelogues, the history of the Rhine, antique plate books, or fine topographical engravings. [Store Loc. 2.5]. …
