St George's Chapel - Windsor

Illustrated throughout with absolutely stunning full-colour and b&w, full, half, and quarter-page photographs (the latter containing captions). Also contains a facsimile of a letter written by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II to the Dean of Windsor on St. George's Day, 1975. Front pastedown and endpaper illustrated with a double-spread, sepia plan of Windsor Castle dating from 1672. Rear pastedown and endpaper features a double-spread, sepia illustration of the chapel's chancel (also dating from 1672).

Light brown boards with a gilt heraldic device on the front and gilt text on the spine. Jacket is unclipped (£2.50). Scuffing along the top and bottom, plus some slight rubbing along the edges and spine. The rear has considerable rubbing and was used as rest by its previous owner – when viewed under direct light, a letter written to a certain Mr. Ian Graham becomes visible. The book itself is in very good condition: the boards are straight and undamaged, whilst the pages are clean and bright.
