In this book, specially commissioned paintings recreate more than 30 of the most exceptional of these rescues in the Institution's 170-year history. Each painting is accompanied by an account of the rescue and those involved, including eye-witness and contemporary newspaper reports. The accounts are supported by details of the paintings, contemporary engravings and photographs, and the book is completed with a history of the development of the RNLI, to which 50% of the royalties are donated. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
