    Description

    Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    First published in 1880, this is a late 19th century edition of this local history that traces the transformation of Brighton from a modest fishing village into a fashionable seaside resort. 

    The work of John George Bishop.

    Illustrated with a folding frontispiece and two folding tables. Collated, complete.

    Former owner's inscription to a front blank.

    Advertisement leaf to rear.

    Drawing on archival sources, personal recollections, and earlier printed works, Bishop offers a lively narrative of the town's development, including its architecture, notable residents, and the influence of royal patronage, particularly that of the Prince Regent, later George IV.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail, otherwise externally excellent. Hinges strained, but firmly held. Inscription to a front blank. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright, with the odd pencil notation throughout.
