The remaining plates are attributed to Barlow. ESTC locates 3 copies (Huntington, National Trust, and Folger). 5 works in one volume, oblong 2° (303 x 185mm). Engraved or etched throughout. Early-19th century green morocco gilt, gilt edges (extremities scuffed). Provenance : C.F.G.R. Schwerdt (bookplate; his sale, 22 May 1939, lot 146).
