Morris' Seats is not only a record of British country houses in the second half of the nineteenth century, but also a fine example of colour printing.

Six volumes, 4to, 240 plates including additional title-pages printed in colour, by Benjamin Fawcett after Lydon, original brown cloth richly decorated in gilt and black, all edges gilt; occasional light spotting, front free endpaper vol. 1 with wear to fore-edge, a very good set.
