| The Connoisseur's Complete Period Guides : Ed. Ralph Edwards and L.G.G.Ramsey F.S.A. |
A good, clean, "First Complete Edition" volume of "The Connoisseur's Complete Period Guides", edited by Ralph Edwards and L.G.G. Ramsey F.S.A., and published by The Connoisseur in 1968. First issued from 1956 onwards as separate volumes covering six historical periods, viz. Tudor, Stuart, Early Georgian, Late Georgian, Regency and Early Victorian, some volumes of which series we presently are able to offer ex stock, the whole are here brought together to form a single superb work of scholarship. For sheer breadth of coverage combined with the highest degree of erudite academic excellence, this impressive work has remained unsurpassed since it's publication over forty years ago. As an introduction to the study and appreciation of the world of antiques, it stands supreme and without parallel, no other work of reference approaching it's happy combination of breadth of learning and clarity of presentation. Hard covers, large format, 1536 pages, black and white plates and line drawings throughout, original dust jacket, now rather careworn. Ref. TCCPGRELGGR/B5.

A rare volume indeed, published in 1932 and the forerunner of today's treen collector's Bible, "Pinto".
