JONES, OWEN. GRAMMAR OF ORNAMENT. London: Day and Sons, 1856 (1865).
Illustrated by Illustrated by examples from various styles of
ornament ... Chromolithographed half-title page. 110 plates present,
Plate #85 missing, probably not bound-in originally. Plate # 35 comes
after plate # 38. 3/4 brown leather with brown cloth boards. Gilt
lettering and gilt shelf number to spine. Folio (9 1/2 x 13 1/2").
[157 pgs] Very good. Bookplate of private library at Bromley House.
Plates are nearly fine. Two have impeccable repairs to the margin at
foredge. A few light spots in margins, a mild crease to one plate, a
corner chipped on one plate. A gorgeous example of chromolithography
at its earliest and best<BR> <A
