Etchings Representing the Best Examples of Grecian and Roman Architectural Ornament. Drawn from the Originals, and Chiefly Collected in Italy Before the Late Revolutions in That Country

3rd edition (?). 10 pp. plus 126 numbered engraved plates. Half-cloth and marbled boards; spine label in red leather with lettering in gilt. This edition includes plate 47 bis, but plate 101 was never published. Spine label rubbed; large patch of the marbled paper peeled off top board near spine , with smaller patch at bottom corner, and chipped at board edges; top corners rubbed and bottom corners worn; some light soiling to textual margins, and a very small hole in margin of plate 47, not affecting etching; interior otherwise clean and bright. Tatham’s etchings, originally published in 1799-1800 and later expanded, were a vital inspiration for the designs of the Regency Style. According to Harris (Regency Furniture Designs), “The significance of this book cannot be over-estimated.”
