Odds and ends at Foxwold; a guide for the inquiring guest

Pym, Horace N, Backhouse Pym, F. H · 1887 · [Edinburgh] privately printed by Ballantyne, Hanson & co. · 3 pictures

A privately printed 1887 Edinburgh guide by Horace N. Pym and F. H. Backhouse Pym, written as a guide for visitors to the house Foxwold and its art and objects. The three pictures are an etched interior of a cluttered room rotated on the page, an etched view down a staircase and hallway with a figure at the foot of the stairs, and a photograph of a young child in a bonnet and long satin skirt. A designer might take from them the tightly packed domestic interior and the dense, crosshatched etching line.
