Published by John Weale Architectural Library: 59 High Holborn 1837 1st Edition

"John Weale (1791 - 1862) was an English publisher of popular scientific, architectural, engineering and educational works. He went into the trade first with George Priestley in St Giles, London who died around 1812, and worked then with Priestley's widow. He took a particular interest in the study of architecture. In 1823 he issued a bibliographical Catalogue of Works on Architecture and the Fine Arts, of which a new edition appeared in 1854. He bought the architectural publishing business at 59 High Holborn built up by Isaac Taylor and his son Josiah Taylor as The Architectural Library, after Josiah's death in 1834."

Please study plate list. Original stitch binding is very fragile with most plates almost loose. 21 plates are present however there is a duplicate of "Chapter 6 Plate 6" and "Chapter 6 Plate 13" is MISSING. It's possible that this may have been an error from the publisher or maybe someone swapped it out for some reason at some stage during the past 185 years and re-stitched it? Plates are quite fragile with chipping and staining present as shown. A scarce and stunning reference work on The Antiquities Of Attica & Athens. Please study photos to further understand condition.
