An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in the City of York (Volume III, South-West of the Ouse)

xciv, 158pp plus 206 pages of plate illustrations, some in colour. Maps, charts and drawings, all beautifully made. Grey buckram binding (an alternative edition was produced in a red cloth, without colour images and two colour printing). Strong and sharp boards with extensive gilt lettering and decoration. The front free endpaper has a warped patch and mark, consistent with the clumsy removal of a bookplate or label, else very good condition throughout. The third volume of the RCHM’s comprehensive recording of York’s monuments and older buildings in the South Wet area of the City. Descriptions of more than 500 buildings erected prior to 1850. A large and very heavy volume which will require an additional charge for shipping.
