The publisher's original black cloth binding remains firm and structurally intact, exhibiting only mild shelf-wear and light rubbing to the extremities, primarily at the spine head and tail and corner tips. The gilt-stamped lettering and central front-cover vignette are remarkably bright, showing no significant oxidation. The top-edge gilt retains a clean sheen, while the untrimmed fore-edge displays typical, age-appropriate toning. Internally, the hinges are solid, and the text block is securely bound. The pages and the 96 plates, including the 16 tissue-guarded photo-engravings, show occasional faint marginal foxing and minor age-toning, but remain largely clean and highly legible, with the plate impressions themselves entirely unaffected by the foxing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the first trade edition, presented in the publisher's standard black cloth and gilt binding. It is distinct from the limited, large-paper edition of two hundred copies which was issued contemporaneously in a quarter-calf binding. The volume serves as a comprehensive monograph and catalogue of the Scottish etcher's works up to 1924, with text printed by Morton, Burt \u0026amp; Sons and the high-quality photogravure plates engraved by A. Alexander \u0026amp; Sons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe book is extensively illustrated, containing 96 full-page monochromatic plates that reproduce Cameron's etchings, 16 of which are higher-quality photo-engravings protected by their original tissue guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWhile the limited edition commands a higher premium, this standard first edition is Uncommon on the open market, especially in a state where the gilt tooling remains unoxidized and the original tissue guards are intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eAn authoritative and beautifully illustrated 1924 survey of the renowned Scottish artist David Young Cameron, penned by Arthur M. Hind, the Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford and former Keeper of Prints at the British Museum. Featuring nearly one hundred plates, including the atmospheric townscapes, moody landscapes, and shadowy architectural studies that defined Cameron's pivotal contribution to the Etching Revival, this monograph offers both a critical appreciation and a vital chronological catalogue of his work. A handsome and essential reference volume for any serious collector of early twentieth-century printmaking and art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55595286102355,"sku":"6464","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261021_100924.jpg?v=1792863074","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-etchings-of-d-y-cameron-arthur-m-hind-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
