1860070469Richmond VA: West & Johnston 1860. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good -. 6.25" x 4.25" x 0.25. FIRST EDITION 1860. Since this was printed just before the beginning of the Civil War it is NOT a Confederate imprint. "Third Thousand" per the title page. Softcover. Spine is cocked; foxed throughout with some dampstain at the foot yet text has been uncompromised. Curling at the corners with some soiling. Predominantly unmarked except for a previous owner's name "L. J. Lee" dated April 1861 in pencil on the front flyleaf and a couple of markings in the margin on page 65 looking as the soldier was graphing the instruction of "By platoons left wheel. MARCH." and "Forward. March" also in pencil. The wear and soiling invokes a wonder if L. J. Lee carried this handbook with him in battle during the Civil War and what this little book has seen. A fascinating copy. Full refund if not satisfied. West & Johnston paperback

14757Three plates engraved by Robert Havell and son printed by Edward Egerton-Williams in colours and finished by hand each with printer's blindstamp. From an edition limited to 110 copies printed from the original printing plates in 1988 employing the same techniques as used in 1823. This fine edition was published as a collaborative effort between the State Library of New South Wales and the renowned fine art publishers Alecto Editions.<br/> <br/> "By 1820 Sydney was a town of 12000 inhabitants about a third of whom were convicts. It had grown dramatically during the administration of Lachlan Macquarie who was appointed governor of New South Wales in 1810. Unlike previous governors Macquarie was not content merely to oversee a penal colony. His vigorous building programme changed forever the appearance of Sydney while his policy of accepting emancipated convicts as respected citizens demonstrated a social attitude strangely out of step with the times. Both these policies earned him criticism. In 1819 alarmed by Macquarie's extravagant public works the British Government commissioned a lawyer and civil servant J.T.Bigge to investigate. The attacks by his critics were met head on by Macquarrie's supporters in New South Wales. Books pamphlets and paintings luded the governor's undoubted achievements. Almost certainly Major Taylor's drawings were used in if not commissioned for this cause. The engraved views of the Panorama present a flattering image of the Australian seat of government and by extension of Macquarie's term there.Taylor arranged the engraving and printing of the of the three sheet Panorama. upon his return to England in July 1822.Havell appears to have worked from Taylor's. large watercolours but amended them with additional details. and decorative elements.It is most fortuitous that the copper plates.have survived. There is no other example of such a case for 19th century Australian engravings. unknown

Croker writes in detail about the food and wine and is also very observant of the interest the Spanish men pay to the English women that travel with the soldiers. Recently rebound in quarter maroon calf and marbled boards original endpapers and half-title present. Some occ. light foxing one page has a close short tear to margin not affecting text.
