Publication: Salisbury, Bennett Brothers, 1910 

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xxiii], 227, [11].

Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, presenting a sturdy shelf profile. Boards exhibit some minor rubbing to the extremities and slight softening at the spine ends, typical with a volume of this age, but gilt lettering and decorative elements remain bright and vibrant. Internally, the hinges are perfectly sound without any signs of cracking or weakness. Text block is predominantly clean and crisp, though one may find occasional light scattered foxing, primarily restricted to the preliminary leaves and the fore-edge. All photographic plates are fully intact and well-preserved, making this a highly respectable and structurally sound copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of Alderman Charles Haskins' comprehensive survey of Salisbury's municipal heritage. The volume is richly illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates, providing an invaluable visual record of the city's civic portraiture, historic silver, and ceremonial insignia.

The front free endpaper bears a standard previous ownership signature in ink, dating back to the period. Due to its highly specific regional subject matter and small initial print run, this title has become increasingly scarce on the open market, making it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of Wiltshire local history, municipal antiquities, and English provincial heritage.

Delve into the rich civic history of one of England's most storied cathedral cities with The Salisbury Corporation: Pictures and Plate. Authored by Alderman Charles Haskins, this meticulous 1910 survey offers a fascinating window into the municipal treasures of Salisbury. From detailed accounts of centuries-old ceremonial silver and ornate maces to the historic oil portraits of local benefactors that graced the Guildhall, Haskins brings the city's political and artistic heritage to life. Beautifully illustrated and deeply researched, it is an essential resource for historians and a captivating read for anyone enchanted by the material culture of traditional English governance.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
