Hardcover. Zustand: New. Geophysical surveying methods play an important role in the site investigation process.

Fenning" (hare coursing; dappled race horse; grouse shooting with dogs; wolfhound; grouse); nine colourful watercolour costume groups (two signed "D. Lynch, 1829", four of European female traditional costumes, and three incorporating means of transport - one depicting an open carriage with nine flamboyantly dressed female passengers, another showing a bullock drawing carts); eight beautiful botanical scenes incorporating birds and butterflies, highlighted in gilt, some incorporating decoupage elements; four oil views of rural landscapes, and several others in watercolout (likely European); three fine female portraits in pencil (one dated 1840); several watercolours of temples; naval scenes in watercolour and pencil; an attractive pencil drawing of the Menai bridge and several other topographical scenes; and a number of superbly hand-coloured engravings. The album itself originated from Louisa Tyrrell's "Emporium of Fancy" in Soho, an establishment where "every material for ladies fancy work" could be obtained.
