"Vases and Tripods on Twelve Plates"

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

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.

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". Some soil and spotting, ink stains 
to the rear page have leached through into the last few plates. [37944]
