Hampton's railway guide of the 1850's reproduced as miniature facsimile in January 1929. 62 printed pages (a few leaves with corner tips creased; printing quality is not sharp). Includes advertisements for Hotels Cecil, Great Northern Hotel, Liverpool Street Station, Belgravia, Metropole, Grand, Majestic, &c. On the inside rear cover is an ad for the National Provincial Union Bank. On the inside front, ads for Aertex Cellular and the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co. Along the spine it advertises Schweppes Table Waters. 12 x 20 mm. Original tan card cover (slightly rubbed). A similar copy is in the Library of Queen Mary's Dolls' House and can be seen on the Royal Collection Trust website. This edition was published January 1923. Photographic reproduction, apparently not given away nor sold in any numbers, as this is the only the second one I have seen in commerce. Bondy calls it scarce in 1981. Spielmann says it is "a curiosity, of considerable rarity" (1961). Bondy, 153. Bromer, 114 (photo). Spielmann, 1. Welsh, 8.
