SHAW, Henry. A Booke of Sundry Draughtes. Principaly serving for Glasiers: And not impertinent for plasterers, and Gardeners: besides sundry other professions. Illustrated with 117 lithographic plates of ornamental design. 8vo., contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled boards. London: William Pickering, 1848.

First Edition. A delightful and surprisingly rare book, with only the Yale copy being listed in America in OCLC. Some minor foxing on the last two plates, but overall a fine copy of this scarce little book which is mostly copied from Walter Gidde's Book of Sundry Draughtes of 1615, which was the first published manual for glaziers.
