LYSONS, engravings, including "Britannia Depicta," further and very finely illustrated by the insertion of nearly 150 ORIGINAL DRAWINGS, and 1000 choice Engravings; with MS.

Crimson Morocco extra (A MATCHLESS COPY), £150.

1813-1868

This fine and tastefully illustrated copy has been produced regardless of expense, and would form a remarkable ornament in any Topographical Collection.

The vols. contain no less than 146 Original Drawings, mostly in Colours, by the following distin guished Artists: Alexander, Buckler, Corbould, Farington, Hakewill, Hassell, Paul Sandby, Mackenzie, etc., while the Engravings have been selected with great care, both as to appropriateness and impression, many being Proofs. They comprise Portraits; old and modern Views of Castles, Abbeys, Churches, Mansions, and other Buildings Antiquities; Monumental Effigies; Tessellated Pavements, etc. Those illustrating Windsor, its Castle, and the neighbourhood of "royal-tower'd Thame" are many and interesting.

Many valuable works have been denuded of their embellishments to ornament the present: among them are Holbein's Portraits, Pyne's Royal Residences (coloured), Thane's Portraits and Autographs, Holland's White Knights, etc.
