Leighton of Brewer Street

c. 1850. Full morocco, 24 inches tall. A magnificent and colossal full morocco by the great firm of Leighton of Brewer Street, with their ticket. A unique deluxe copy from the Rothschild library at Exbury. Bound with gilt raised bands, natural calf label and absolutely superb gilt tooling to the panels, a fabulous series of huge gilt rolls to the boards, gilt dentelles and all edges. Illustrated with an engraved title page, a dedication leaf and 50 India proof engraved plates, each with an accompanying leaf of text. Some foxing in to the preliminaries and the margins, rather than the actual images, then clean. A stunning and unique example of this very rare complete deluxe edition.
