London: Haymarket: Thomas M'Lean, 1825. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. ALKEN Henry. With Fifty Hand Coloured Sporting Plates The Rare Large Paper issue of the Royal Octavo edition in full red morocco (by W Matthews), gilt edge tooling corners rubbed. Re-backed, original spine, raised bands, decorative gilt tooling & titles. Internally, [3], (iv-vi), [1] pl list, [1], followed by 50 pls each with a leaf of descriptive text, plates are all hand coloured and dated 1824 & watermarked J Whatman 1823, text leaves watermarked 1822, t.e.g., some light offsetting & spotting, binders stamp to fpd. An excellent example of this, the first edition with these illustrations - the plates are different to the folio edition. (360*247 mm). (Mellon/Podeschi 121; Schwerdt I:19; Tooley 43). Although this has the same title as a work published by Alken in 1821, the illustrations are different and represent "a collection of new and original drawings and descriptions" (preface).
