    Description

    Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    Edited by John Richard King. 

    Being Volumes I and II of what was eventually an eight volume set. The work was published over eighteen years, and therefore it is uncommon to see volumes together. 

    Part I is Winchester, Salisbury, Exeter and Wells. Part II is Chichester, Canterbury and Rochester.

    Adorned with illustrations of Cathedral plans, decor and elevations.  This work explores the architecture and history of these beautiful cathedral buildings. 

    Bound by Edmonds and Remnants, with the label to the rear pastedown.

    Condition

    In the original cloth bindings. Externally, generally smart. Small loss to the head and tail of spines. A few light spots to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Scattered spots to the fore-edge not affecting the pages. The odd spot to pages.

    Good
