First edition, a specimen copy sent to Ruari McLean for review purposes. One hundred and thirty-eight reproductions of the wood engravings and 13 reproductions of preliminary sketches by the English wood engraver George Mackley. A foreword and 5 brief articles by Mr. Mackley and 5 others are followed by a survey of his works divided into general themes: "Botanical Engravings," "Engravings of the Sea," "Countryside Engravings," "Engravings of Waterways," "The Netherlands," "Engravings of Rivers," and "Commercial Engravings" the smallest section . Favorite subjects of Mr. Mackley are boats and waterways/canals with related architecture, fishing boats and related scenes, botanical detail, and compositions of buildings and trees. Depiction of such things as rocks and geological formations seems to interest him less. The engravings are sharply and finely detailed, with a wide range of shading, frequently against a dark background. Indexed. Gilt lettering on spine. Inserted in this copy are various letters to McLean from the publisher, a letter from George Mackley to McLean and a typescript and manuscript of the review than McLean wrote. With the Ruari McLean booklabel. 136 pages. unbound signatures with "Specimen" printed in ink on the title page, the signatures are inserted in a paper portfolio and a cloth slipcase.. 4to..
