Jerusalem revisited

London: Arthur Hall, Virtue & Co., 1855. Large 8vo, pp. viii, [4], 202; engraved title page, frontispiece and 20 plates (one folding), 18 text illustrations; full black polished calf, gilt decorated spine in six compartments, red morocco label in one, marbled endpapers and edges; joints just starting, later gift inscription: "Presented to the Supreme Council 33 degrees A.: A.: S.: R.:, N.

William Henry Bartlett was a prolific illustrator, mostly of landscapes, and a well-travelled author. His writing was workmanlike and served mainly to frame his illustrations, which were popular during his time. He died of a brief illness in the process of producing this book, and it was published posthumously. Item #59316
