    PUGIN, A.& FERREY, B.
    A Series of Ornamental Timber Gables, From Existing Examples in England and France of the Sixteenth Century in England and France, Drawn on Stone by B. Ferrey, under the direction of A. Pugin; with Descriptive Letter-Press by Edw. James Wilson.

    Edition: First Edition

    London: A. Pugin: 1831. A decent copy of this first edition. Original stiff card boards. It is unusual to find this work in its original state. There is a copy of the decorative title page to the front board. The spine is missing (surface of the spine - the binding of the book is still sound). 13 pages of text and 30 full page plates, drawn on stone. A further decorative title page. 30 plates + illustrated title. [i], [plate], 13, [1], 30.

    Condition: Overall a reasonable copy. There is loss of most of the spine to the book. The front and rear boards are still firmly attached. The boards are rather darkened and somewhat rubbed to the edges still sound. Inside, the book is sound throughout. There is light to moderate foxing to many of the plates (As is usual with this work). Two of the plates are printed on a brown paper rather than the cream of the rest of the paper stock. To the front end paper, there is an advertisement for Pugin's architectural works tipped in. Overall a sound copy.
