Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Royal 8vo. xii, 188 pp. 12 vividly colored plates (including frontis.), 2 etched plates (facing p. 74, 88); few gutter margins are reinforced, burn hole at gutter margin near p. 126 affecting pages 115-140 (minor kozo repairs), plate facing p. 82 crinkled along margins with verso scratches, all other plates are very good. Original blind and gilt-stamped straight-grain dark brown morocco, a.e.g.; spine faded, extremities rubbed. Very good. Fourth edition (first published in 1818). In introducing the book, the author states, "it was my good fortune, during a season of uncommon beauty, to make a tour through some of the most interesting parts of France, and to meet with persons who, from situation and talents, were highly calculated to give my journey every charm of society and information. . . . I could scarcely move a step without some novelty of picturesque enchantment." That beauty has been captured in the lovely plates within this book as they were taken from the author's drawings, executed while on location and engraved by L. Clark. Fellowes travelled some 1000 miles throughout France, during the placid months of June to September, noting the history, romance, religion or politics. A beautifully illustrated travel narrative with all 12 hand colored plates. "The Monastery of La Trappe is one of the most ancient abbeys of the order of the Benedictines, established in 1140 by Rotrou, Comte de la Perche, as a thankoffering; by 1660 its monks not only lived in luxury, but were so famous for their scandalous excesses of every kind, that they were called the Banditti of La Trappe." - Sir Theodore Andrea Cook, Old Touraine: the Life and History of the Famous Chateaux of France, (1901), pp. 252-3 (vol. II). REFERENCES: Abbey Travel 86. Hardie, Martin; Englished Coloured Books; 313. Tooley, R. V. English Books with Coloured Plates 1790-1860; 212. …
