Island Books

Fine and Rare Books in the Heart of Britain's West Country

Stabb (J): Some old Devon Churches, their Rood Screens, Pulpits, Fonts, etc. [Complete Set]. STABB COMPLETE , Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent, [1908-11-16]

3 vols., 8vo., First Editions, with 3 frontispieces (all original tissue guards present) and 397 fine half-tone plates (the great majority full-page) from photographs, endpapers moderately browned; original cloth gilt, gilt backs, boards (only) mildly mottled else a very good, bright, clean set. The first work of its kind since Oliver's Ecclesiastical Antiquities [1839-42] and one of the glories of the published ecclesiology of Devon. Indeed few, if any, English counties benefit from surveys illustrated to this extent and standard. Increasingly scarce, especially as a set in this condition. Apparently (and inexplicably!) not recorded by Brockett. (Book ref. 19626)  £180.00
