Beautifully illustrated first edition with possible Barings family provenance.

Full straight grain calf binding with gilt decoration to boards and three wide raised bands to the spine; faded marbling to edges of text block. Green coated endpapers; a little marking to early leaves. Collates complete in two volumes with 176 engraved plates including 4 tables and 24 engraved sectional titles, some bound out of order. Provenance: acquired from a family related to the Barings - by repute this book descended from the Barings side.

One of Robert Thornton’s more modest efforts in book making, his Elements is a beautifully constructed work, found here in an attractive contemporary binding.
