Descripción del artículo del vendedor

1857 1st edition. 504pp + 12pp catalogue to front and rear. Fair/None.

Contents generally clean and tight but for minor soiling/browning, occasional splitting to gutters, occasional pencil notes to text, minor creasing, ink notations to reverse of title page. Beautiful B&W and hand-coloured engravings throughout. A look at the amazing collection of art and antiquities owned by Ralph Bernal (1783-1850).

His collection included armour and arms, furniture, porcelain, glassware, jewellery, paintings, silver, and lots more. The collection was dispersed by Christies in 1855, during a mammoth auction of over 4000 items, lasting days. This book contains beautiful images of some of the most prized pieces.…
