Oxford, Joseph Skelton, 1823 - [1827]. Folio (41 x 32 cm). Contemporary three quarter roan, gilt edges.

Beautiful work on the antiquities of Oxfordshire with impressive views of buildings and artefacts. The plates were executed by the eminent engraver and publisher Joseph Skelton (1783-1871), some in collaboration with others and mostly after drawings by Frederick Mackenzie (1788(?)-1854). The work was issued in 13 parts between 1823 and 1827, the last part including a list of subscribers. The section on Wootton contains a lengthy description and a detailed plan of the Roman villa that was discovered in North Leigh in 1813 and excavated the following years.

Soiling and foxing throughout; binding soiled and damaged. Good copy of a sumptuously illustrated work.
BAL 3050; Lowndes V, p. 2409.
