One of 12 deluxe copies. A handsome large paper copy of Lysons' work of the antiquities of Gloucestershire; one of only twelve deluxe copies with nearly all the plates hand-coloured and to a larger format than the more common large paper issue, originally issued unbound. The hand-coloured plates here are wonderfully clean & fresh.

'Gloucestershire is a county remarkably rich in remains of ancient art. The object of the present ably executed work has been to give such examples as exhibit the greatest variety of styles of architecture, and some of the most interesting specimens of Sculpture and Painting.'

First edition, one of 12 special deluxe large paper copies; atlas folio; engraved title page and 111 plates, all but 5 hand-coloured with line & wash borders, plate 84 in 2 states, title-page and first leaf foxed, bookplates to pastedown; contemporary dark blue morocco, gilt, gilt edges, neat repairs to corners, head caps and head band renewed, a very good copy.
