old book -Berkeleys - 01

An old book. I bought it unbound and had it bound meaning to sell it, but never did. Probably would never recoup the cost of the binding.

This shows the book open on the title page. I did a series of shots of this book open at different pages for someone; if anyone is interested I might put more up, although I'm not really all that happy with the resutls.

The book is an 1883 edition of a 17th century text.

The title page reads:

The berkeley Manuscripts: / The Lives of the Berkeleys / Lords of the Honour, Castle and Manor of Berkeley / In the County of Gloucester / From 1066 to 1618 / Hundred of Berkeley and of its inhabitants
By John Smyth, of Nibley
Vol 1
Ed. Sir John Maclean, FSA etc.

Gloucester, Printed by John Bellows / For the subscribers / 1883

You can use the images here in any work on DeviantArt (including prints) without needing any permission or paying any fee; I ask that you let me know when you use a piece so I can link back to it.

You can use the pieces non-commercially for any purpose whatsoever; again I'd like a link back if possible.

You can use the pieces commercially, but in this case you must send me a copy of the finished work, and the cost is that you must go entirely barefoot for a day, i.e. all the time for 24 consecutive hours. OK, I'm weird. Live with it.
