Views of Jersey with map & plan

First edition. Illustrated with 22 aquatint engravings on glazed paper, a map of Jersey and a plan of St. Helier. The illustrations are treated like photographs or postcards, which they closely resemble at first glance.
Publisher's green shagreen paper boards. Decorative plate on the upper board with title. One corner slightly bumped. On the edge: Manufactured in Germany. (For the binding only).
A blue library stamp: Bigwood's circulating Library. Jersey. The presence of the train in the engravings between St. Helier and St. Aubin, inaugurated in 1870, suggests an edition close to this date. Charming tourist book of Jersey.

NB: This work is available at the bookstore upon request within 48 hours.
