Some rubbing to boards especially at joints and head of spine a little worming to boards. Binding sound scattered foxing but generally clean. The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.

This catalogue includes 28 images from the exhibition along with an essay by Jennifer Gross and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic who explores the love of imaging he and photographer share as both strive to reveal the ordinary in their work. -- with a bonus offer-- .
