Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This collection is important because it presents a different Gainsborough from the celebrated portraitist. With one ADDITIONAL illustration. The uncommon First Edition Collection of 72 Gainsborough Etchings of English Scenery [1805], oblong folio, period style three quarter brown calf, burgundy morocco spine label, marbled boards. First edition of this beautiful collection of 72 etchings, 30 hand tinted, after Gainsborough sketches, handsomely bound. Plates clean & fine, dated 1802-1805, some watermarked 1801, binding fresh & lovely, printed by Watts & Bridgewater, Queen-st. A superb example of this rare edition. (270*401 mm). (Ray 74. Tooley 231). Acclaimed as the father of modern landscape, & of modern pastoral (DNB), Gainsborough was also the favorite of British high society (Janson, History of Art, 452). Wells & Laporte etched these plates from 1802-05. While the first edition of this volume calls for 71 plates, this volume has one additional illustration: there are two different essays of the second plate. The less scarce later editions of this title contain only 60 plates. Although Gainsborough is celebrated primarily as one of Britain's greatest portrait painters, landscape was his lifelong passion. He filled sketchbooks with studies of trees, rocks, cottages, streams, and animals, often experimenting with unusual drawing materials and techniques. GAINSBOROUGH Thomas (W.F. Wells, and J. Laporte - engravers) (ilustrador).…

The Captain, Henry Wilson, and crew pull off a remarkable feat of salvaging the remains of the ship to build a sloop, enabling the crew to set sail via Canton to England after only four months on Oroolong, the island gifted them by the Pelau King Abba Thulle. Compiler George Keate uses journals, interviews and the log to tell the human story of an unplanned yet remarkably fruitful voyage of exploration and anthropological discovery. The Pelew (Pelau, or Belau) kingdom of the chief Abba Thulle extends generous hospitality and friendship to the travelers, inviting mutual respect and kindness. In return, the British aid them in medical matters and several battles against rival islanders. They are gifted various Pelauan "ornaments"( which make up some of the illustrations) as they set off four months later to return to England, also bringing with them the King's nephew, Prince Lee Boo, who lives for a time with Mr. Keate and his family. Keate wrote a second title about Lee Boo's time in England, and his daughter Caroline provides a portrait from memory used here, when Lee Boo died from smallpox in Dec., 1784. **ILLUSTRATIONS: Arthur William Devis (1762-1822 ) shipped out as the official East India Company Artist in 1782, and by 1783 was aboard the shipwrecked "Antelope" in Palau. Trained as an academic painter and portraitist, he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and other galleries. The British Museum has several of his original portrait drawings from the voyage which appear in the book, including that of the Prince Lee Boo (Lebu) and his father, Arra Kook (Arra Kooger), as well as a portrait of a Chinese lady drawn after the crew regrouped in Macau and Canton in 1784. (British Museum online). Luckily, there were numerous artistically-inclined sketchers on this voyage, including the Captain himself, making possible a thoroughly fascinating pictorial record of the events, cultural history and people. The brother of artist Edwin Landseer, the engraver Thomas Landseer was also employed on this work, as prepared back in London. BIBLIOGRAPHERS cite five editions by 1804, including a pirated Irish edition and one in French; it has been an enduringly popular narative, variously abridged and translated into many languages in the ensuing years, due to the particularly well-told tale on a very human scale. **PROVENANCE: Viscount Falmouth, Mereworth Castle, Kent (engraved bookplate). This stunning early eighteenth-century Palladian home, designed by Scottish architect Colen Campbell, appeared in film as the residence of Agent 007, in the 1967 Sean Connery/ James Bond film, "Casino Royale," immortalized from the 1953 Ian Fleming novel. The book is presumed to have belonged to the 3rd Viscount Falmouth, George Evelyn Boscawen, (d.1808) whose family crest upon the bookplate features distinctive heraldry of lions rampant with the tail of a fish. (His father, the 2nd Viscount Falmouth, Hugh Boscawen, (d. 1782) was a naval Admiral. Also, THOMAS TWYSDEN, (d. 1801) whose name appears signed in old ink to the title page, also had a distinguished and lengthy naval career, entering service in 1781 as Fourth Lieut. of the 74-gun ship of the line, The Defense, in 1793.

In this infamous tale, our hero little Frank has many strange adventures after falling asleep full of plum cake. He embarks on a dreamy world adventure through imaginary lands with bizarre and unheard-of creatures. Victorian novel at least likely partially inspired by Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Humoured children's - though just as entertaining for well coiffed adults - novel by English author Tom Hood, son of Thomas Hood, Senior. . a thread of persiflage which may be appreciated by the older reader;" Dedication: "To my puzzledom pilgrims, who have been often in my mind while I was writing these pages, I inscribe this work. Tom Hood." Author Tom Hood was a humorist and playwright famous for editing the magazine "Fun" and satirical literature such as this novel. His father Thomas Hood was an English poet and humorist known for works including "The Bridge of Sighs." Both contributed significantly to English literature in their respective eras. This was one of many over-the-top comedic novels for children following "Alice's Adventures" first published in 1864; near a decade prior. Controversy ensued in the late nineteenth century when an English critic mistook the dates and attributed "From Nowhere to the Moon" the influence upon Lewis Carroll's high-jinks andventure and not vice versa as was correct according to the original publishing dates. William Brunton was a 19th-century Irish artist and cartoonist known for his work in magazines like Punch and The Illustrated Times. He also illustrated children's books, including this and "Moonshine Fairy Stories" in 1882. Edward Charles Barnes was a British painter active in the 19th century, known for his oil paintings and artworks. He is recognized as a fine artist. Some of the cutest, funniest and a little grotesque, imagery ever produced for this humoured cirque du soleil. Engravings by the Dalziel Brothers company.

Add to this the loose mounting, which causes the engraving to cast a shadow on the white paper underneath, thereby softening, refining and enriching the tone of the whole, and it will be perceived that a secret of the art is being for the first time formally shared with such part of the world abroad as that to which this work shall fall."
