Picturesque Europe With Illustrations On Steel And Wood By The Most Eminent Artists Including Birket Foster

Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co: London (undated) c1875


Pricing for this series is based on the average asking price for the prized steel plate engravings within each division. Consider the wood engravings and complete topics as a bonus.

Division 9 Contains:
  • 3 Full Page Steel Plates: On The Campagna (H Fenn), Tomb Of Louis De Breze Rouen Cathedral (SJ Hodson) & Hospenthal (Birket Foster)
  • Full topics include Normandy & Brittany (full, 29 pages), The Italian Lakes (full, 25 pages), & The Passes Of The Alps (partial, 18 of ? pages - others assumed to be in Division 10)
  • Multiple Wood Engravings
This is an interesting series that was published in 20 divisions. Each division contains some full topics/countries with only part of some topics/countries. I can only assume that this was to encourage buyers to purchase ALL 20 divisions to end up with the complete work. For you, this is an opportunity to buy 1 division including the contents as stated above and shown in the photos. We do not have the full 20 division set for sale but we do have 15 of 20 at the beginning of these listings so please refer our other listings to see what is left.
