Scope and content
A catalogue of the library at Easton Court, co. Hereford, illustrated with skilfully executed pen-and-ink vignettes. The volume may well have been compiled and illustrated by Sir Joseph Russell Bailey (1840-1906), 2nd baronet and 1st baron Glanusk, shortly before the death of his grandfather, Sir Joseph Bailey, the first baronet, in 1858. The frontispiece bears the name J. Bailey, one vignette depicts an event in 1856 (f. 6v) and no books published after 1858 appear to be catalogued.
