CLARK, I.

FIRST EDITION. 3 vols. Large oblong folio, title, index, engraved title, and 35 (of 36) hand-coloured aquatint plates. Photographic reproductions of the title leaf and list of plates. Each exquisite print is mounted and preserved in three folio-sized modern half red morocco cloth-backed albums, matching morocco gilt label and spine. Imprints suggest that the work appeared in several parts, and publication ceased before the general title was issued. "ONE OF THE RAREST OF PLATE BOOKS" (Tooley).
