This book, with its presentation quality bindings, describes 18 of the most important houses in Hertfordshire, with drawings of their owners and (in some cases) photographs of the wives. There are also one or more drawings of each house - including both exteriors and interiors. It was published by subscription, the print being limited to 200, and presumably most copies were brought by the house owners for their own libraries or as gifts.
