The society of antiquaries
issued engravings of about to be lost or threatened structures in
the series Vetusta Monumenta (Ancient Monuments), which ran
intermittently from 1718 to 1906.The full title is "Vetusta monumenta
quae ad Rerum Britanicarum memoriam conservandam Societas Antiquariorum
Londini sumptu suo edenda curavit", but the volumes are normally simply
listed as Vetusta Monumenta. There were various reprints of both
individual papers and collected volumes, and the plates were often
published separately from the text. "The seven volumes are dated
1747, 1789, 1796, 1815, 1835, 1883 and 1906 (for the fourth part of
vol.7). The plates for vol. 1 were published between 1718 and 1747;
plates for vol. 2 were published between 1748 and 1789; plates for vol.
3 were published between 1790 and 1796; plates for vol. 4 were
published between 1799 and 1815; plates for vol. 5 were published
between 1816 and 1835; plates for vol. 6 were published between 1821
and 1885; plates for the four parts of vol. 7 were published between
1893 and 1906. The distinguished engraver George Vertue was an early
member and was responsible for most engravings up to his death in 1756.
Each member of the Society received a free copy these are scarce as few
antiquarians break books most are in library collections being only
printed for members . Images 45 x 30 cm Single page
