[WRIGHT, JOHN BUCKLAND]. Bury, Adrian.

Syon House.

London The Dropmore Press 1955 Small quarto. x, 41 pp. + (10) ff. of engravings. One of 175 numbered copies. Illustrated with ten images of Syon House -- the London home of the Duke of Northumberland -- printed directly from the original copper plates engraved by John Buckland Wright. Each image is titled in pencil. The ten architectural and landscape engravings are wonderful examples of Buckland Wright's careful examination of a subject and the precision with which he rendered it. Adrian Bury, primarily known as a watercolor artist, wrote the text about Syon House that precedes Wright's engravings, and his text is preceded by a brief appreciation of Buckland Wright by English artist Henry Rushbury. Printed on handmade cream wove paper and bound in sumptuous full black morocco with gilt armorial crest to center of both boards and gilt lettering to spine. Dentelles decorated with repeating floral device in gilt. Light blue endpapers, illustrated. Very fine. Bookplate.
