Condición: Good. An original steel engraved portrait of Dr. Edmund Cartwright, the clergyman and inventor of the power loom, published by William Mackenzie. The sitter is shown half length, turned slightly to the left and looking out at the viewer, his gray hair falling loosely to his collar. He wears a dark coat and waistcoat with a white cravat and sits in a carved and upholstered armchair against a plain dark ground. The plate is lettered beneath the image "Engraved by J. Thomson, from a Picture in the possession of Miss Cartwright", with the name "Dr. Cartwright." in outline capitals below and the imprint "William Mackenzie, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London & New York." at the foot of the sheet. James Thomson was a London engraver who specialized in portraits for books and periodicals. Edmund Cartwright (1743 to 1823) was a Leicestershire clergyman and poet who turned to mechanics in middle age. In 1785 he patented the first power loom, the machine that would in time transform the weaving of cloth, and he went on to patent a wool combing machine and other inventions. Parliament granted him 10,000 pounds in 1809 in recognition of the value of the loom to the nation. William Mackenzie of Glasgow was one of the most active Victorian subscription publishers, issuing illustrated histories, dictionaries and biographical works in parts, each illustrated with steel engraved portraits such as this. The New York line in the imprint places the printing in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The engraving is finely worked, with close cross hatching in the coat and background and delicate stipple in the face. This portrait suits a collection of the Industrial Revolution, the textile trade or the history of invention, and a narrow dark molding with a wide mat shows it to advantage. Condition: Good condition for its age. A few small spots to the margins; small nick to the upper edge and a faint crease at the lower left corner, all clear of the image. Please review the images for further condition details. This is an original antique print, not a modern reproduction. This item is sold unframed.

A pair of hand coloured engraved maps: 50 x 59 cms; 54.3 x 68.5 cms (sheet); central fold, some browning to the inset maps and faint age-toning to the sheets, small sealed hole to the key of one map, a few neat repairs to margins but an attractive pair of maps in very good condition. Highly detailed sheet maps that form a complete view of the Indian subcontinent during a period of significant British East India Company expansion. Published in Edinburgh by John Thomson as part of his New General Atlas (c. 1814?1821), the first of the maps covers Northern India from Persia and the Indus Valley in the west to Assam and Bhutan in the east, extending north into Tibet, with two inset maps which feature a remarkably detailed map of the Kingdom of Nepal, (which was rarely visited by Westerners at that time), and a second inset of Cabul (Kabul) in the upper left. The Southern map covers the peninsula from Bombay in the north down to the northern part of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). A beautiful pair of maps with attractive hand-colouring defining eight spheres of influence identified in the key in the lower left of the Southern map, for example red for British-controlled areas, orange for the Nabob of Oude, green for the Berar Rajah.…

Full Morocco. Third Edition. Unusual split arrangement of fore-edge paintings, with each occupying half of the fore-edge's vertical length. One of the paintings, occupying the first half of the book, reveals itself when you fan those leaves to the left -- towards the front board; the other, taking up the latter leaves, emerges when fanning to the right, or the rear board. But one thing special about this volume's fore-edge paintings is that one needn't fan the pages oneself really, because when one opens the volume in its center, the two fore-edge paintings come out clearly at the same time! And while we don't recommend that one rest an antiquarian book fully open, in the case of this binding we believe it is safe. Plus the paintings in fact are sufficiently apparent without the book laying completely flat. 12mo. 16.5 by 11 cm. lxxii, 681 pp. With seven steel engraved plates, including frontis and half-title, and a few illustrations placed in the text. The front fore-edge painting is of a coach that gets mired in the snow, as a sole horseman gallops by in the background. The rear fore-edge painting is of omnibuses hitched together, with no horse(s) attached, as would be needed to pull the vehicular ancestor of trolleys. Both paintings are populated with people, and setting them apart from almost all fore-edge paintings is that they are genre scenes, with something going on, fitting into and/or sparking a narrative. They also easily relate to Thomson's most famous poem, "The Seasons", and thus are distinguishable from the typical fore-edge painting in which the painter chooses a volume more or less randomly to use as his canvas. Besides the fore-edge paintings, the volume has a lovely decorative binding to recommend it with the boards' gilt decoration elaborate gilt design evoking Pompeian ornament, and similar to countless palatial wall and door panels created in the neo-Classical vein of the late 18th Century. The spine has a typical five raised band format, but given the dimensions of the book, the narrower compartments means the gilt decoration within have an unusual horizontality to them. The binding does show wear, with rubbing along the joints, on the raised bands, along the edges. It remains very handsome nonetheless, and the binding is also tight. Internally, there is light age toning to the leaves. Other than some foxing of the plates, which are of a different, thicker paper stock than the rest, with the frontis plate suffering the deepest amount of foxing, the leaves are generally clean. There is normal offsetting of the engravings. George Grantbach, engraver. Engravings of mostly of works by John Gilbert, but frontis portrait was painted by Joseph Paton (ilustrador).…
