1846. Reprint - complete in 2 volumes. xi, 323pp., a frontispiece, 3 engraved plates (1 folding) and 139 woodcuts within the text; xii, 324pp., a frontispiece, 3 engraved plates and 154 woodcuts. William Barnard Clarke (1806-1865) was an English architect, cartographer, archaeological writer and art collector, numismatist and literary translator. He was also the founding president of the Architectural Society of London, 1831. He produced a celebrated series of maps or plans of European and Russian cities and, taking a strong interest in the discoveries at Pompeii, prepared and assembled the materials for this richly-illustrated two-volume work about the buildings and artefacts excavated at Pompeii, for Charles Knight's Library of Entertaining Knowledge, which appeared first in 1831-1832. The two volumes are uniformly bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling and decoration on the spines. The cases of the books are in very good condition with bumping to the corners and spine ends and some light water staining on the rear board of volume 2. The contents are tight and clean with offsetting from the frontispiece on the title-pages. Some of the preliminary pages in both volumes remain unseparated along the top edge and a name has been written on the front fixed endpapers.
