About This Item
London: Hamilton, Adams, And Co, 1858. New and enlarged Edition. Hardcover. Modern green morocco and marbled boards. Aeg. Fine. 286 pages. 25.5 x 18.5 cm. Thirty plates, all with tissue guards, of which 28 are in color using the Leighton Brothers Chromatic Process, two tinted lithographs, and 69 woodcuts in the text. Dedicated to Michael Faraday. George Cargill Leighton was a distinguished pupil of George Baxter who established polychromatic printing by the type-press in oil colors. Leighton took the craft to greater heights, his topographical views, printed in full colors from wood blocks were superior to those of Baxter. Toning, mostly marginal to some plates, raised bands, spine panels in gilt, original marbled endpapers -- lovely copy.
