About This Item
Windsor: W.F. Taylor, Library, 1880. 12mo, pp. 33, [1] + 1 frontispiece and 7 plates. Original pale blue paper wrappers printed in black. Somewhat foxed and toned, some offsetting from plates, small dampmark to upper margin. Spine somewhat nibbled. Pencil gravestone transcriptions to inside wrappers. A scarce, undated printing of a guide to Windsor Castle. L.V. Harcourt’s ‘An Eton Bibliography’ dates an example of this title (with different pagination) to 1875, but it seems likely that copies were produced with slight variations throughout the second half of the nineteenth century.
