About the Item
A set of seven beautifully bound volumes in morocco red leather with gilt decorations and crest to front and rear. A stunning collection of this pictorial work of British and Irish county seats, homes, and estates of noblemen and gentlemen, in six volume plus the scarce additional supplement containing a facsimile list of subscribers' autographs. In total they contain 240 delightful illustrations with 40 illustrations in each of the six volumes together with descriptions of the house itself, the family who lived there and some of the more important items of the contents. Sadly today not many of these grand houses remain as they were demolished when they became too expensive to maintain, so this is a really wonderful record of a bygone age and the houses from the end of the 19th century. They look magnificent on a bookshelf as a piece of decoration as well!
