Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First edition. With the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated with a frontispiece and twenty-three plates. Collated complete. Pen and pencil are here in perfect alliance to describe and depict the most famous of London's churches. With commentary on Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Mary Abbot, All Saints, St. Matthew, and many others. Includes descriptions of their appearances, activities, and history, drawing attention to any special features. Written by Charles Bernard Mortlock, an English rector, a canon, a connoisseur of art, architecture and antiques, and a journalist in archaeology. Illustrated by Donald Maxwell, an English writer and illustrator. From the library of Sir Ambrose Heal, an English furniture designer and businessman who served as the chairman of Heal's, a British furniture and homeware retail company, (then called Heal & Son) from 1913 to 1953.
