Any advice with this is most welcome.

Pictures of Old Rome by Frances Elliot published by Chapman and Hall -no date - new edition ; prize inscription shows date 1891 but I beleive this may be earlier .The only reference I can find for this publisher's edition is at the British Library which suggests a date of 1872 for a similar or same new edition.

The author's note states :"these pictures were written and published in Rome ,where they were received with favour.They are now reprinted ,with some modifications,additions,and (it may be hoped)improvements, for English readers "

Ironically the only picture is a frontis ,pasted in early photo of the Colisseum .The book itself is blue cloth with stamped gilt decoration (Caesar's head )on front and spine .

My instinct is that this is a first UK edition .Is it reasonable to state this in the description with the British library date of 1872 ? Later different publisher issues appear to have many photographs .

thanks in advance
Fred
