PORTRAIT OF THE SEVERN

by J.H.B. Peel

Published by Robert Hale. 2nd. 1980

Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. 2nd edition. The Severn is Britain's longest river. Rising near the summit of Plynlimon, it enters the sea as an estuary ten miles wide. No other British river flows through such varied scenes... the wild heights of Wales, the industrial debris of Ironbridge, the pastoral hillscape of the Malverns, the solitudes of Aust. Green cloth boards, orange title block to spine with gilt title. B/w photos. 205 pages including index.

Small mark to rear board else a lovely, clean copy. Price-cut pictorial dustwrapper is lightly sunned to spine.
