Signed by the Marchioness of Bath – A beautifully illustrated historical volume charting the development of Longleat House and the Thynne family lineage, written by the Marchioness of Bath. This example is signed to the title page by a member of the Bath family, believed to be the Marchioness of Bath (signature reads “Bath”), adding particular collector interest.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome plates and several full-colour reproductions, including portraits of the Marquesses of Bath and notable family members, as well as historical views of Longleat House.
Decorative illustrated boards, with matching illustrated endpapers depicting Longleat and allegorical figures.
Condition: General handling wear to covers, some age spotting/foxing to prelims and edges, but overall a well-kept copy for age. Binding sound. Signature clear and bold in blue ink.
A desirable signed estate publication seldom found with contemporary family autograph.
