Sobre este artículo
Paul & Dominic Colnaghi & Co., c.1855. A fine example with plates clean and crisp and colours fresh. . Binding: Contemporary half-morocco with original cloth boards; embossed, gilt titles on upper board and spine; five raised bands with title on two and remaining five compartments in elaborate gilt design; matching marbled endpapers, all edges gilt., Notes: Our example contains both series. As Abbey states, both series were published in ten parts, each part containing four plates. … As a publisher’s announcement in December 1854 shows, Simpson had been ‘commissioned to proceed to Sebastopol’ immediately, by Colnaghi’s. This was the beginning of the enterprise which earned him the name ‘Crimean Simpson’. Abbey also reports that the plates are impressive, not only artistically and technically, but as an example of pictorial reporting. He also states that Simpson must in this way rank as an early war correspondent. (Abbey Travel 237). , Size: Folio (555mm x 370mm), Illustration: Illustrations complete with 81 full page lithographs beautifully hand-coloured; the plates include: Illustrated Title to series one with large vignette (unnumbered), 1.
