Book Description
COOKE, William Henry. [1841-1930]; Catfield and Stalham, Norfolk, U.K. “Eccles Next-the-Sea and the Erosion of the East Coast” Notes collected by [monogram] W.H.C. 1908. Manuscript booklet in wraps, the title in pen with penwork reeds and monogram. Illustrated with pen drawings by the author. Pp 51 with illustrations lettered AA through to L including two maps. The work is in two parts , the second being the Erosion of the East Coast. The first four pages are loosely tipped in and consist of four sketches “from photographs taken by Mr. R. Gurney Ingham Hall” with an accompanying letter from Cooke explaining the cliff erosion pictured in the first image. An additional letter accompanying the booklet is written on the headed notepaper of a Norwich bookseller H.W.Hunt [ but signed B.J.Hook] telling the recipient of the letter A.A.Blake Esq. that he has just received 102 copies of the printed booklet, and returning the original ms copy, thus neatly providing provenance for this little work.
