Art, history, royalty, architecture - with these books you get the lot.
These 2 publications date from 1894 & are in remarkable condition for their age, with only a little wear on the edges of the covers. They comprise 2 magazines with photographs of noteworthy buildings. Not many people owned or could use a camera, & this was a way for them to own their own pictures. Ready to frame for your own walls, to give as an unusual gift, to use a backdrop for a memory box/frame or I've seen antique art like this used in a glass topped coffee table.

The cover reads :
The scenery & splendours of the United Kingdom.
Art Series 1 & 2.
Part of a weekly publication of 12.
Beautiful Britain
Published by by the Werner Company of Chicago
LONDON 13A Cockspur St
1894

There is a letter from Queen Victoria reprinted inside the front cover, which I guess was her patronage at that time.

Measures: 13 1/2 x 11 inches

As I was unsure of the titles relating to our British friends & what the difference was between Great Britain & the United Kingdom, I did some research. Apologies to my Irish ancestors that I did not know this information already.
+++The term "United Kingdom" became official in 1801 when the parliaments of Britain and Ireland each passed an Act of Union, uniting the two kingdoms and creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
++++Great Britain is the name of the largest island in the British Isles and is also a political entity consisting of three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. ... As the UK's full name suggests, Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain, hence "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The salt and pepper set arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. It is exactly as described and in very good condition. Love it. The shopkeeper provided a written receipt as her printer was playing up. I really appreciated this.

A thorough pleasure! I was promptly notified when the program shipped and unexpectedly refunded savings on the shipping costs (thanks very much!). It arrived as described and in excellent condition. It was packed absolutely befitting of a piece of history, safely within a plastic sleeve, protected by sturdy cardboard, and wrapped in a charming personal note that added unexpected context to that history. With such delightful ambassadors Geelong indeed still rates worth a visit. Thank you for reminding me that the world is wondrous.
