Small 4to, pp. [4] + 32 plates. Original brick-red cloth, front board bordered in black and lettered centrally in gilt, rear board bordered in blind, edges gilt. Just a touch of spotting. Boards a little scratched and marked, a little wear to edges.
A scarce Shetland-published excerpt from Reid's larger 'Art Rambles in Shetland', published in Edinburgh by Edmonston and Douglas in 1869. The present volume contains only the plates (probably excess stock of those printed for Edmonston and Douglas), with its own title-page; the larger work, published in Edinburgh, has letterpress and numerous vignette illustrations as well. Library Hub records just a single copy of this version, in the NLS.
