OLD ENGLISH DRINKING GLASSES. Their Chronology and Sequence.

Deluxe edition limited to 100 copies, signed by the author to the limitation page. Quarter vellum over blue cloth boards, titles in gilt to upper board and spine, page edges untrimmed. Illustrated with 80 plates (8 more than the standard edition) depicting over 385 drinking glasses from the period 1680-1800. A better than very good copy, the binding with minor rubbing to the boards and typical marking to the vellum. The contents with the armorial bookplate of Henry Burton Tate (of the Tate sugar family, grandson of the founder of the Tate Gallery, London) to the front pastedown and a contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper are otherwise clean and bright throughout. An excellent example.

Provenance: From the library of Martin Stone.
