Summary
Bibliographic description
7v., plates : ill. ; 4to. Provenance: armorial bookplate of: 'Thomas Anson Esqr. Shugborough' (printed in black ink); presumably Thomas Anson, 1st Viscount Anson, (1767-1818), though this plate seems to have been pasted into many of the books at Shugborough, and is not necessarily reliable evidence of provenance. Supp (v.7) has earlier plate, and thus may be survivor of original set: eighteenth-century armorial bookplate, with crest and motto: Nil Desperandum. Thomas Anson Esqr,, [i.e. Thomas Anson, of Shugbrough (1695-1773)]. Binding: eighteenth-century calf; sewn onto 5 cords; spine gilt. Vol. 7 bound in eighteenth-century tree calf; gilt roll border; gilt tooled spine, lettered: Antiquites egyptiennes.
