The New Gallery Of British Art, 40 Parts, 120 Engravings. D. Appleton & Co.

Description: This is an original set of the new gallery of British art containing 120 examples after British painters published in the mid to late 19th century by D Appleton and company. Each of the 40 parts has three steel engravings on fine imperial quarto paper with accompanying letter-press descriptions. I have gone through each part and made sure that all parts are present. Some maybe Miss A line or slightly out of order with the tissue papers and descriptions but all are complete and present. There is one singular engraving that I could not find and that is titled "novitiate mendicants". It is possible it is present but I wasn't going to search through for a 3rd time to see. Includes the original title page engraving and weirdly, a few pages that seem to be from what should be a bound copy. They were randomly placed in part 33. They have significant foxing and staining to the edges but the vast majority of engravings are clean.The imperfections affect only the edges of the papers on the vast majority. At your request I can take a picture of any singular engraving or part. All of the original covers are present. Most all of them are ripped on the spine but clean on ghe front and back. One part has its rear cover ripped but is still complete. Also comes with a few blank pages of the Imperial quarto paper which are significantly stained and I assume were added for end papers or something. I also have the table of contents for volume 1. To conclude this interesting description, all but one of the engravings are present and in fair to good plus condition. The overall condition I would say is good minus. All of the parts are present and all engravings have their descriptive plate and at least 80% have tissue papers which are in good condition. Let me know if you have any questions or if you desire more photos. Thank you.
