Recording Britain. In four volumes

4 volumes. Publisher's full red cloth bindings with unclipped pictorial dust jackets. The jackets with minimal closed tears and slight marks at points and spines of the bindings a little sunned in places. Newspaper cutting pasted in at one page, detailing a fire at Rutland Lodge, Petersham in 1967. Lovely and clean otherwise. An uncommonly nice set. Numerous full-page illustrations by Barbara Jones, John Piper, Thomas Hennell, Russell Flint, Ruskin Spear, Kenneth Rowntree and others. The flap reads: 'Not war alone, but the demands of a new planned way of living has made it certain that much which our fathers knew and loved in the British scene will vanish soon if, indeed it has not vanished already. Houses, streets, monuments have, in many cases, been bombed into rubble, and those that have survived may soon be cleared away to make room for arterial roads, schools and Civic Centres'. Bindings are 26c,s tall. This is a heavy set and may require additional postage if being shipped outside of Europe.
