Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Uncommon and attractive fortification study, this fourth edition issued in the same year as the self-published first edition. "That part of Flanders. having frequently been disputed by the various European powers, the author conceives that an undertaking like this will not be unacceptable to the public, particularly at a time when that country exhibits nothing but incampments, sieges, blockades, daily skirmishes, and frequent battles" (To the Public). Astley earned great renown as an equestrian artist and theatrical manager. He had served with General Elliott's regiment of light horse on the continent, distinguishing himself at the battles of Emsdorf and Friedburg. Having obtained a discharge he opened an exhibition of horsemanship in an open field in Lambeth, his only horse being his regimental charger given to him by Elliott. He opened a succession of theatres in London and Paris during the 1770s and 80s, but the French Revolution disrupted his performances in Paris, his amphitheatre being turned into a barracks, so he returned to London and rejoined the army, serving with distinction under the duke of York. With the patronage of the duke and the prince of Wales he was permitted to call his new theatre, opened 1794, Astley's Royal Amphitheatre. The present work is dedicated to the duke. Octavo (205 x 129 mm). Double-page frontispiece and 15 similar plates. Contemporary red goatskin, title gilt to spine, rolled bands, sun-in-splendour tools in the compartments, gilt panels to the boards, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. A little rubbed and soiled, but still pleasing, light toning, small piece missing torn from the corner of second plate, no loss of image, overall a very good copy.…
