Full title: Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in Aquatint and Lithography, 1770-1860, from the Library of J.R. Abbey, A Bibliographic Catalogue. (No. 431 of 500) In this Bibliographical Catalogue, the word 'Scenery' is not strictly confined to landscape but includes architecture, and urban and social scenes. Many of the illustrations are of real beauty, and the fact that a large number are from books of the greatest rarity and therefore known to few in their original form gives added significance to those which are reproduced in this catalogue. The original idea of recording all books of the period with illustrations printed in aquatint and lithograph printed in two colours has been extended to include examples in which special copies were coloured by hand after printing and, in the case of lithographs. This is the original 1952 first edition published by privately by The Curwen press and limited to 500 individually numbered copies: this is number 431. Original morocco spine-la
