While a significantly later edition, the slightly larger format and the quality of the production do lend distinction to this particular reprint. The top of the front board (a neat band coinciding with a blinds…tamped ruled line) is now partially broken off, meaning it flaps slightly when pressed. Also a minor side ding, a short closed tear along front joint, etc. Endpapers heavily foxed. Otherwise a clean and tight copy, and overall quite handsome. Henry Alken and T. J. Rawlins (ilustrador).

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good-. New Edition. 4to 11" - 13" tall; 238 pages; Beautifully illustrated with engraved titlepage and twenty full page colour plates by Henry Alken with captioned tissue guards. Contents near fine - clean and tight in contemporary binding of three-quarter dark brown morocco over pale green & cream mar…bled boards with marbled endpapers. Five raised bands at spine with gilt lettering and decorative gilt devices depicting foxhunting horns and whips. Leather chipped at head of spine; hinges secure, but leather cracking along edges of spine. A still attractive volume; requires careful handling. Charles James Apperley (1777â"1843), English sportsman and sporting writer, who published under the pseudonym "Nimrod." Apperley attended Rugby School, then served with the Ancient British Light Dragoons in Ireland. He settled in Warwickshire, where he devoted himself to fox-hunting. Facing financial difficulties, Apperley began to contribute a series of articles to The Sporting Magazine under the pseudonym of "Nimrod", covering horse races, hunt meets and other sporting events. His amusing articles filled with characterizations of the people he knew or met at such events contributed to doubling the circulation of the magazine within a few years. Mr. Pittman, the proprietor of The Sporting Magazine, gave Nimrod a handsome salary and defrayed all the expenses of his tours. He also gave Nimrod a stud of hunters. After Pittman's death, the proprietors of the magazine sued Apperley for the money that had been advanced. To avoid imprisonment, Apperley moved to Calais in 1830, where he supported himself by writing. Apperley is best known for his two books, The Life of a Sportsman, and the one offerred here Memoirs of the Life of John Mytton, both of which were illustrated with coloured engravings by Henry Thomas Alken (1785 â"1851). Alken, also an avid sportsman, was an English painter and engraver chiefly known as a caricaturist and illustrator of sporting subjects and coaching scenes. His earliest productions were published anonymously under the signature of "Ben Tallyho", but from 1816 until about 1831, he produced under his own name many sets of etchings of sporting subjects mostly coloured and sometimes humorous in character.

Maclise and 13 woodcut plates, each with tissue guard; title slightly dust-stained; a very good copy in early twentieth-century half red morocco with buckram sides, borders filleted in gilt, spine tooled in gilt and lettered directly,… top-edge gilt, marbled endpapers, red ribbon place-marker, sewn on 4 sunken cords; rubbed and lightly bumped at extremities, upper joint split, head-cap chipped.First edition of a series of articles first published in the Quarterly Review, illustrated by Henry Alken. A sporting writer who 'may even be said to have created the role of gentleman hunting correspondent' (ODNB), Charles James Apperley (17781843) published widely on hunting and horsemanship, from 1822 under the pseudonym 'Nimrod'. In the course of his work he travelled widely to partake in hunts, reportedly driving the coaches on which he was a passenger and riding his own horses in race meetings. When his generous salary from the Sporting Magazine was stopped in 1828, however, his fame did not support him and he fled to Calais to avoid debt in 1831, remaining there for the next decade.

Exhibiting a Real Picture of Characters,… Manners, &c. in High and Low Life, in Dublin and Various Parts of Ireland. Embellished with Humorous Coloured Engravings, From Original Designs by the most eminent Artists. By a Real Paddy. London: Jones and Co. and J.J. Marks, 1821. First edition. Tall octavo (8 3/4 x 5 11/16 in; 226 x 142 mm). vii, [1, blank], 6-296 pp. Frontispiece and eighteen hand-colored plates by and after William Heath, Henry Alken, and others (all bound together before text). Original quarter green cloth over blue paper boards with printed spine label, rebacked with original backstrip laid down. Some rubbing and light soiling to boards, spine label a little chipped, some soiling to plate margins not affecting image. A very good copy of a scarcely seen book. "Though not so good it is more rare than [Egan's] Life in London" (Tooley). "Real Life in Ireland was initially shunned by educated readers and even a quick glance at the language and misdeeds of the central characters, Brian Boru and Sir Shawn O'Doherty, reveal that such a publication may once have been able to cause and give offence. However, Real Life in Ireland is more akin to the works of Flann O'Brien and although written nearly 200 years ago is very readable and very funny. "Opening with the discharge of Shawn O'Dogherty from college in Dublin with a small fortune to spend, he is joined from the country by his friend Brian Boru, who along the way is regaled by the stories of Peg O'Shambles, a one-time cockle picker from Ringsend in Dublin, who has fallen on hard times due to her alcoholic husband's misdeeds. Accompanied by many humorous cartoons of Brian Boru's adventures, the characters travel from Belfast to make merry in Dublin. While the characters in Real Life in Ireland might be fictitious the places, events and the Hiberno-Irish featured throughout are not. Although a comparison with James Joyce's travels through Dublin is perhaps hardly appropriate, Real Life in Ireland provides a clear account of Dublin and its inhabitants, as well as the major sights and attractions of its suburbs. Perhaps unintentionally, Real Life in Ireland has left an account of the 'real' trials and tribulations of Ireland in the 1820s. For example, the new harbour at Dalkey is rightly criticised as a waste of money and time the long awaited visit of George IV lamented, but not much regretted." "All-in-all.Real Life in Ireland make[s] for a highly entertaining and extremely funny read and has much to recommend it to a modern readership that might be unfamiliar with its kind" (Eneclann).
