433pp. Comprising the most recent statistical information and notices of the most important historical events associated with the places named, also, The Last Census. Printed horizontally across the page. Bound at the Royal School of Art Needlework, with label as such to rear pastedown. The School took its cues from the Arts & Crafts Movement - William Morris in fact assisted in its founding - marking a significant moment in the history of applied arts, as the mode shifted from the domestic sphere to the industrial world. The crossover of technological innovation, in Bryce's process of photoreduction, here meets technical taste. In thin vellum over boards, with floral design embroidered to upper cover and floral endpapers. Fine. (2 1/8 by 2 in.)
