STOCKHOLM. Stockholm och desz sköna nejder. Med en i koppar grawerad tafla. [2], 24 pp., illustrated with 12 leaves containing 51 mounted engraved plates, cut up from one large sheet. 8vo, 185 x 110 mm., bound in original red calf backed glazed boards. Stockholm: Hörberg, 1826.
First edition. A lovely copy of what is possibly the first guide book to Stockholm. The book is presented in an unusual format; all the illustrations of notable buildings were printed on one large sheet of heavy paper stock and then cut down by the owner of the book and each pasted on to interleaving blank pages that were bound in.
A few marginal tears, but overall a fine copy of a scarce book.
