About This Item
Baudry's European Library, 1834. Acceptable. Used - acceptable - cover shows extensive use wear with wear and cracking to leather on spine folds at spine ends - has a bookplate on the inside front cover - has a stamp with inked number on the title page - has a multi-page foldout that is wrinkled from improper folding - most of the pages show signs of foxing / blotching from age. Contains a bookplate with the name John Byrmer. The bookplate has the motto: Virtute and a plain armorial with a blazon of six ostrich feathers, with an escutcheon of a Catherine wheel. From research the bookplate identifies that this book was once in the library of John Brymer at Ilsington House in Puddletown, Dorset. An estate that had belonged to Robert Walpole, Earl of Orford, and his heirs; Horace Walpole inherited the manor, but had never lived there, preferring his gothic villa, Strawberry Hill. Brymer, a member of the local gentry, purchased Ilsington from Horace Walpole's heir in 1861, and became the first resident landlord in more than a century. A man whose interest in books extended beyond his own collection, Brymer built an imposing Tudor-style reading room in the village.
