London: Henry G. Bohn, York Street, Covent Garden, 1849. First Edition thus. Original Cloth. Fine. First Printing of the Dallaway and Wornum edition, a "New Edition, Revised, with Additional Notes," complete in three volume in original cloth. Demy 8vo (220 x 135mm): xxxii,351,[1]; [5],352-479,514-720; [4],721-1007,[2],[Appendix & Index]482-510,[36]pp, with three tissue-guarded frontispiece portraits and 77 further full-page plates, plus 89 wood engravings. Pagination irregular, but text continuous throughout. Original publisher's brown cloth, covers elaborately stamped in blind, spines lettered and numbered in gilt, pale yellow end papers. A few leaves roughly opened, but a truly spectacular set in publisher's original bindings with bright gilt; largely unopened, tightly bound, pages and plates virtually pristine. Hazen (Strawberry Hill), p. 66. Lowndes V, p. 2820. Originally published in 1762, this revised edition, based on an edition issued between 1826 and 1828 ("with considerable additions") edited by the antiquarian James Dallaway, is the first with notes by Ralph N. Wornum. Late in life, Walpole, 4th Earl of Oxford, described the Anecdotes as "the only thing I ever published of any use." It was mainly based on the archives (40 volumes of manuscripts relating to English painters, sculptors, engravers, and architects) that Walpole purchased in 1758 from the widow of engraver George Vertue, which Walpole later wrote contained "an infinite quantity of new and curious things." (ODNB) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
