Frontispiece, 33 tissue-guarded engravings each accopmanied by 1-2pp. text, all edges gilt, paper boards, black cloth spine. Internally in good order but foxed throughout, a little browning to the page edges and some general wear. The 33 plates (2 more than mentioned in the title!) are in generally good order, but they are foxed and the last 5 have some brown damp staining. The boards, which have been professionally restored including a new cloth spine, new endpapers and strenghened corners, are a bit marked and scuffed. A richly illustrated guide to Chester and its buildings, containing 31 engravings by English artist and printmaker, John Romney. The plates show locations such as St. Michael's Church, Chester Cathedral, Grosvenor Bridge and the railway station, which opened in 1848 - just 5 years before the publication of this book. An uncommon, and delightful, title.

Store description
A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock. …
