Dealer Notes

The 'best' edition of 'Northern Cambrian'. Abbey Scenery 523 calls for 39 plates + 1 additional plate in the second and enlarged edition, as here. Abbey suggests the additional plate may have been a publisher's experiment and only later sets received it. The South Wales title is not in Abbey and is rare, only one incomplete example located
