About This Item
Cream cloth binding with gilt title on the spine and front board, both with black chequered line edging. No. 170 of limited edition of 200. Signed by author.
In this volume Home lovingly paints and describes the coastal and Moorland regions of Yorkshire. An artist who worked mainly in watercolour, and who frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy, Home is noteworthy among illustrators for being equally talented with a writer's pen.
