Published in London by I. & J. Taylor, various dates.

DISCUSSION:  An interesting set of plates of ancient vases from the I. &
J. Taylor Architectural Design Library series of books. The Taylor series,
featuring illustrations of many classical decorative and architectural
designs, was very popular in the last decades of the 18th, and the early
decades of the 19th century, as a wave of Neoclassicism swept England,
Europe and America. These plates are not dated, but probably date from the
first decades of the 19th century.

DESCRIPTION:  Hardcover. 6”x9.5”, 35 engraved plates. Bound together in a
somewhat haphazard order- Plate 3 of “Eighteen Vases” bound before its
title page, followed by the title page and the rest of the plates. “A New
Book of Vases” title page bound next, followed by “Fourteen Vases” title
page and its plates, followed by a second plate from “A New Book of
Vases”, followed by Plate 8 of “Vases and Tripods”, followed by the title
page and plates for “Vases and Tripods”.

Lacking at least one plate from “A New Book of Vases” and plates 9 & 10 of
“Vases and Tripods”.

CONDITION NOTES:  Some soil and spotting, ink stains to the rear page have
leached through into the last few plates.

PRICE: $375 -
