Lot no. 37
BONNEY (Thomas George). Lake and mountain scenery from the Swiss Alps. London, Bruckmann, 1874. In-folio, bound in richly decorated full percaline. Hinges rubbed, corners crushed (Publisher's binding). First edition, illustrated with 24 mitre-mounted photographs of paintings by Gustav Paul Closs and Otto Froelicher, and 48 woodcuts in the text by G. Roux. This very fine album describes the Alpine lakes, but the photos here are reproductions of the paintings, not shots taken on the sites, which enhances its artistic interest.
Ex-dono dated 1881 on the flyleaf. Perfect condition inside. Uncommon.
Perret, 580 - ACL p. 39 - CAS p. 169 - not in CAI
