A Hand-book of Travel round the Southern Coast of England. A Picturesque, Antiquarian, and Topographical Description of the Scenery, Towns, and Ancient Remains on that Part of the Coast. Illustrated with thirty-five engravings after Turner, Collins, Prout, Owen, Dewint, and others. London: M. A. Nattali, 1849. FIRST EDITION; 8vo (23.5 cm) in original publisher's ribbed cloth decorated in blind and gilt, rebacked with the original spine laid down; all page edges gilt; [4], 324, 4, 16 pp.; with 35 tissue-guarded engraved plates, 20 pp. of publisher's adverts at the rear.

Rather uncommon guide to sites on England's south coast, including views in and around Kent, Sussex, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight, after works by J.M.W. Turner, Samuel Prout, William Collins, etc. Binding with bumping and wear to the corners; toning to the contents with occasional mild browning and darkening to the edges, occasional light scattered spotting and soiling; earlier owners' label and signature on front flyleaves; else clean and sound, firmly bound.
