SAVAGE, John, ed. PICTURESQUE IRELAND: a literary and artistic delineation of the natural scenery remarkable places, historical antiquities, public buildings, ancient abbeys, towers, castles and other romantic and attractive features of Ireland. Illustrated in steel and wood, by eminent native and foreign artists. New York: Thomas Kelly, (1894). Quarto; xxxiii,649 pp. This copy is complete but offered with all faults: the final one hundred pages are dampstained, mostly in the margins and lightly so, but increasing as the volume concludes; both boards and the frontispiece map are detached. This is a shame as it is a lovely production, being profusely illustrated with wood-engraved illustrations in the text, and with 18 steel-engravings (including a steel t.p.) and 17 color maps inserted. Sixteen maps are double-sided and one (the frontisp.) is folding. Text leaves are lightly toned at edges, with a few short edge-tears; one leaf (p. 415-16) has a closed tear. A readable copy but, for the reasons stated above, offered with all faults. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
