| General Notes | 11 steel engraved vignettes views of Canterbury by the enigmatic J.S.& Co. Stiff card decorative embossed covers with gilt stamped title to front. Whilst weak the book is intact. I located another not for sale example which contained 12 views but this book appears to have been compiled with 11.

Dane John, Canterbury No,1659 Quadrangle St.Augustines College, Canterbury No.1660... It is No.1661 that has been omitted from this example. All central vignettes are bright but the pages vary in edge wear, corner creasing etc. The first two are working loose from the string binding but holding. Binding is weak and book is worn/faded.No inscriptions.This is a most uncommon little 19th century souvenir/gift book. Book measures approx. 19 x 13 cm.
