Generally very good. Rare first edition of Orlando Furioso translated by the Elizabethan courtier and poet Sir John Harington 1560-1612 - the first English version of Ludovico Ariosto's 1454-1553 famous epic poem - here with its 47 full-page engravings enriched with exceptionally fine contemporary hand-coloring complete with extensive silver and gold accents and giving every appearance of being a presentation copy. Hand-coloring of this quality is outstandingly rare in any English work of this period and such an extensive suite of illustrations is very unusual for purely literary works. Containing "the best known engraved illustrations in an English book before 1700" Hodnett p. 46 Harington's Orlando Furioso represents a landmark in engraving in England an achievement that Harington himself highlighted in his prefatory comments on the "vse of the Pictures" in the book noting that its images "are all cut in brasse and most of them by the best workemen of that kinde" and that he had "not seene anie made in England better nor in deed any of this kinde in any booke." He further states that although England had produced some impressive illustrated volumes "all their figures are cut in wood & none in metall and in that respect inferior to these" fol. Ar. In these remarks "Harington gives us the first critical comment on book illustrating by an Englishman" Hodnett p. 46 and by citing the fine English woodcut books of "Liuy Gesner Alciats emblemes a booke de Spectris in Latin & in our tong the Chronicles the booke of Martyrs the book of hauking and hunting and M. Whitneys excellent Emblems" he announces his intention to produce an illustrated volume comparable to the best yet produced in England. In a further extraordinary step Harington had a handful of copies decorated by the best illuminators available thus elevating these select examples beyond even the most excellent English woodcut books and thereby creating a place for purely literary works in the pantheon of early English book illustration. for full description visit our website at www.martayanlan.com <br/> <br/> Richard Field hardcover books
