COUNTRY LIFE JULY 5 - DEC. 27, 1902.
London:
Country Life
1902.
Half Leather.
First Edition.
856 pp. B/w ills. How the British gentleman's family (and animals) lived 100 years ago! Beautifully bound book has black leather spine and corners, raised bars on spine. Boards marbled in a lovely peacock pattern of blues and greens w/gilt. Gilt title & Vol. # 12 on spine. Leather is worn at corners and spine extremities. Ends of spine have a little erosion. Cover all over is scuffed and edgeworn, but still looks stately - as are its contents. Marbled eps match boards. Although eps are separated at front hinges, binding is tight. In this issue, there is a small ink p.o. on flyleaf. These beautiful magazines were published for the landed gentry of England, and feature articles on hunting, husbandry, fishing, gardens, horse racing, dogs, cattle, sheep and similar subjects. Each weekly issue has a cover photo of a beautiful woman, with or without her children. She is always identified by her husband's name, or her father's. Each issue also features a well-illustrated article on a country home and its gardens. Photography in these magazines is beautiful, and the reader has a full picture of life as it was lived then. Particularly interesting is the reader correspondence, which leans heavily to memories and observations. Houses featured in this six months include Newbattle Abbey, Midlothian; Barncluith, Hamilton; Biel, Prestonkirk; Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfriesshire; Tyninghame, Haddingtonshire; Drummond Castle, Perthshire; Omaston Manor, Derbyshire; Longleat, Warminster; Hewell Grange, Redditch; and others. Of note in these feature articles is the wide use of topiary gardens.
