A COPY GIVEN BY JOHN SOANE TO THOMAS FAULKNER, BOOKSELLER AND AUTHOR OF BOOKS ON THE TOPOGRAPHY OF LONDON, of Soane's description of his celebrated house-cum-museum. First privately published in 1830, Soane had further copies printed by James Moyes in 1832, which were, as described on the John Soane's Museum Collection Online website, issued in a variety of slightly differing forms. This copy is one of the "grangerized copies [which] have the misnumbered plate 14 corrected to 13 in manuscript, and may be regarded as a step towards the much larger 1835/36... these copies lack a frontispiece but have the hand-coloured aquatint of the Britton's Union bound to face the title-page".
Provenance: Thomas Faulkner (1777-1855).
