W. H. Bartlett; J

Two-volume bound. "The Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland", a collaboration between the author Joseph Stirling Coyne, the American writer Nathaniel Parker Willis and the renowned British landscape artist William Henry Bartlett. The work originally appeared around 1841/1842 in London and was published by George Virtue, then divided into two volumes. This is an early reprint from 1844. The book contains 119 detailed steel engravings based on Bartlett's travel sketches. His prints portray a romantic and historical view of the Irish landscape before the Great Famine, including iconic locations such as the Lakes of Killarney, Ross Castle and the coastlines of Cork and Kerry. One illustration is missing, Scene from Sugar-Loaf. There is no damage visible; it probably occurred during binding. The book shows signs of wear in the form of stains and rings and the back is somewhat loose in the binding. The photos you see are part of the description. Weight 2000 gr.

Estimate:£167.46
