An essay on prints

1792BB0995London: printed for R. Blamire in the Strand 1792. Early Reprint. Quarter-Morocco. Near Fine. Fourth Edition so stated of the first standard guide on print collecting in England including detailed commentary on Hogarth's Rake's Progress. 8vo: xiii3174xi1pp. Contemporary quarter black morocco over marbled boards flat spine in six compartments between gilt rules gilt urn stamped in each but second titled in gilt. An excellent copy tightly bound and generally clean and bright with only the occasional minor smudge and handling mark and a few stray spots of foxing. Barbier pp. 24-27. Lowndes II 895. . First published anonymously in 1768 Gilpin's authorship was only revealed with the third edition in 1781. On the continent its influence spread through German French and Dutch translations. Gilpin's "aim as the title-page indicates was to outline ‘the Principles of picturesque Beauty the Different Kinds of Prints and the Characters of the most noted Masters’. . . . The Essay defines ‘picturesque’ as ‘a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty which is agreeable in a picture’ but does not develop the definition." ODNB Among prints singled out for detailed consideration are Salvator Rosa's "Death of Polycrates" Waterloo’s "Tobias" and Hogarth’s "Rake’s Progress." The collector is "cautioned against indulging a desire of becoming possessed of all the works of any master. . . . against a superstitious veneration for names. . . . against making the public taste our standard. . . against rating prints' value by their scarceness. . . against buying copies for originals" and against acquiring poor impressions.

First of a series of five works with similar titles exposing Gilpin to the satire of Combe's Dr. Syntax. In June of 1770 Gilpin embarked on his first picturesque tour. "Sailing down the Wye proved a very different trip from Gilpin's earlier tame journey down the Thames: the ruined castles and mountains of Wales were indeed exciting after the flat countryside of eastern and south-eastern England. . . . here was landscape that called for description that matched his conceptions of beauty and grandeur." Barbier According to Chilvers & Osborne Oxford Dictionary of Art Gilpin was "first to establish the picturesque as an aesthetic category and by his numerous writings illustrated by his own fine aquatints he exerted a profound and lasting influence on both English and European taste in natural and artificial scenery and landscape painting."
