Shrimpton’s Series of the Costumes of the Members of the University of Oxford.

Not dated, probably 1880s.  A colorful and informative folding chart  
showing 24 Oxford University academics and officers in full collegiate  
regalia, ready for a stately stroll across the quad. Although  
Shrimpton was a publisher, the inside front cover includes a full-page  
advertisement for Frederick Evans & Co. of Oxford, “Robe makers,  
tailors, university and clerical outfitters - a large assortment of  
gowns, robes, and hoods, including those for higher degrees, always in  
stock. Presentation robes made to order”.

24-panel folding plate contained in illustrated card covers. Covers  
4”x6.25, light soil and wear. Plate unfolds to 30.5”x18”, minor soil,  
separation along many folds, and the plate is split into two separate  
pieces along one vertical fold. Other folds tender, and some split.  
Delicate to handle. [46380]  $150
