Great Britain
The Landscape and Architecture

A very beautiful photographic record of full page photographs (in high quality photo gravure technique)
featuring topography and remarkable sites of old England, and also including views of Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Depicted are the landscape, the old british architecture, castles, cathedrals, bridges, cliffs, mediaeval houses,
street scenes, old houses of the poor people, and mansions of the rich people, churches etc. ...

This precious book was not affordable by too many people at that time.
And there is no other book of that time which comes close to the printing quality of that title.
