Colour frontispiece, 'Beneath the Crags of Ben Venue, Perthshire' - with tissue guard. 75 full page colour plates wonderfully reproduced from watercolours by Sutton Palmer, all with captioned tissue guards.
A well preserved and pleasing copy, internally with only the lightest hint of occasional spotting, the plates and tissue guards all in fine order, the binding is attractive. This is the first and largest of the author's three works on Scotland published by A. & C. Black. It contains a huge 75 beautiful plates by Palmer Sutton. Palmer was best known for his Gold Medal winning idyllic rustic landscapes painted in watercolours and Moncrieff's tour of Scotland provided him with many of his best views and settings. The success of this volume would inspire the two sequels, although each of those had only a fraction of the illustrations provided here in Bonnie Scotland.
A beautiful Scottish travel volume - all plates present, and still retaining their bright, vivid colours.
