An original very early issue of Country Life magazine dated February 27th 1897 featuring a main article on Bisham Abbey. Three page write up with black and white illustrations of the Abbey, garden and grounds. Country Life Magazine commenced publication in 1897 and these early issues have become highly collectable and a valuable reference to the house owners of today, architects, restorers and renovators and anyone interested in the history of the building. They have an extensive write up with pictures of the building (interior and exterior) and garden as it was over 100 years ago. This issue is in good condition with a lovely portrait frontispiece of the Countess of Marr and Kellie.
