Title: Floreat Etona. Eton sketch’d, a series of designs illustrative of an Eton life, as it was in my time, number 5.
Description: Oxford: James Wyatt and son, 1841. Part 5 only (softcover), subtitled Epoch 3, the Remove. 4 plates (measuring 25cm by 32cm), entitled Map Morning, Towing up to Surley, Three o'Clock School, Poet's Walk. Also includes a leaf of descriptive text and plain blue paper wrappers. The first plate has some foxing; the other three plates and the text leaf are in near-very good condition (some light chafing of the margins). The blue paper wrappers are in tatty condition (chipped, torn and detached from the plates). This work is of exceptional rarity: only four copies are listed on WorldCat. The British Library only holds the first part, and their catalogue theorises that only one part was published. Two US Libraries (Yale and North Carolina) hold parts 1-8.
