Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for J Jenkins by L Harrison and J C Leigh, 1815 A very good copy, complete with hand coloured vignette title, hand coloured title, hand coloured dedication to the Duke of Wellington, and 51 further hand coloured aquatints. The text paper is water marked 1812; the plate watermark is generally in the gutter but is 1835 for the ones that can be distinguished. This copy has been recently rebound in half leather with marbled boards; spine with title label and raised banding with gilt ruled lines. New endpapers. The pages have not been trimmed, so some edges are quite rough and browned. There is a signature to the initial blank. Contents: vignette title - unusually with hand coloured title; title; dedication plate (with small bottom edge tear); text dedication 2pp 1814; introduction pp v-viii (v/vi with paper repair to side and bottom edge); contents list 2pp; text to vignette title 1p; 51 plates with accompanying unpaginated text of 120pp with guards. It is lacking the 2pp subscribers' list. There are a number of small repaired edge tears including an old repair to the gutter edge of Flight of Bonaparte. There is an ink mark in the margin of plate Defeat before Badajos which extends to the guard and affects the next text page. There is occasional marking - mostly to margins. Plates are bright and clean. Occasional creasing to tissue guards. An important work for the accuracy of the illustrations, drawn by a young William Heath. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images to further assess condition.
