With an amusingly formal inscription on the half-title page: ’Frederick Wedmore flattered by the request of G. H. Boughton [?] for his signature, Jan: ‘96’. It seems likely that this is referring to George Henry Boughton, an Anglo-American landscape and genre painter, who was elected a member the Royal Academy in 1896. Nelson, EM, 1894.1, the first book published by Mathews after dissolution of the partnership with Lane. Sixteen pp. ads at end dated 1894-5. Cloth marked in places on front cover. Very good copy.

• Year: 1894
