'An Account Of Some Books Containing Extra Illustrations, In A Private Library' by Irving Browne offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of book collecting and the art of extra-illustration, also known as grangerizing. This work explores the unique charm and value of books enhanced with additional plates, portraits, and other illustrative material, transforming them into bespoke works of art.
