MUNRO, Neil (author). Mary Y. and J. Young HUNTER (illustrators). The Clyde. River and Firth. London, A. & C. Black, 1907 [but 1915].

Large 8vo. Original navy blue decorated cloth, with dust-wrappers unknown to the bibliographer; pp. x, [2], 205, [2, publisher's catalogue]; with decorated title-page in black and green and a total of 67 coloured plates protected by captioned tissue-guards and a large folding map of the region, printed in sepia, tipped in to rear; cloth very well preserved; wrappers with a few small marginal flaws, very light offsetting from endpapers, otherwise very good.
Reprint, the variant in the less elaboarate binding. This is a fine monograph on the Clyde, not only detailing the ship-building industry, but the picturesque aspects of the landscape and history as well, in a binding designed by Albert Angus Turbayne, one of the leading book designers and follower of William Morris of American-Scottish extraction.
Inman 14.
