1792BB0995London: printed for R. Blamire in the Strand 1792. Early Reprint. Quarter-Morocco. Near Fine.

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.
