“Drawn with great skill, and exceedingly well lithographed; their great value consists in their giving correct representations of the scenes and objects they depict.”—Atlas.

The object of this undertaking is to supply what has long been felt to be a desideratum; namely, Graphic Illustrations of the Scenery, Antiquities, Architecture, Manners, Costumes, &c. of the East, which, as the theatre of so many brilliant military achievements, and such extensive commercial enterprise, is daily increasing in interest with the British public. The Drawings for the work are made by the first Artists in the Kingdom, from the Original Sketches taken on the spot.
THE BYRON GALLERY:
A Series of thirty-six Historical Embellishments, illustrating the Poetical Works of Lord Byron; beautifully engraved from Original Drawings and Paintings by Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A., H. Howard, R.A., A. E. Chalon, R.A., J. Stothard, R.A., R. Westall, R.A., and other eminent Artists: adapted, by their size and excellence, to bind up with and embellish every edition published in England of Lord Byron’s Works, and also the various sizes and editions published in France, Germany, and America. Price 21s. elegantly bound, forming a splendid ornament for the drawing-room table.
“Adequately to describe the delicate beauty of these splendid plates does not appear to he within the power of language. There is not an admirer of the works of the departed noble poet who can feel satisfied that he has a perfect edition of them, unless the ‘Byron Gallery’ be attached to it. There is no instance in which excellence in poetry and the arts are so admirably combined.”—Imperial Magazine.
