Half the world- a mighty hemisphere incomparable in grandeur incomputable in riches and illimitable in possibilities- lies west of all their geographies. Their maps are all too narrow their ideas all too small. 'Having eyes they see not and having ears they hear not; neither do they understand' that all the boundless productive powers and possibilities of the new-world republic lie in the matchless region which they in their arrogant ignorance stigmatize as 'the wild and wooly west.'

1825007994London: George Henderson. Printed by George Dawe who also was engraver 1825. First Edition. Full Morocco. Near Fine. Suite of nine hand-colored aquatint plates depicting the louche hedonistic and self-destructive life of a young aristocrat. Bound by Riviere & Son in full red morocco with ruled border raised bands other gilt decoration including turn-ins marbled endpapers. N.d. circa 1820s. 4to. 31 by 25 cm. No title page -- this was issued as a suite of plates not in a book form. A blank sheet in front two in back and tissue guards between plates. Each plate is depicting a scene and basically a step in the descent to self-destruction by the young buck aristocrat. Scenes are The Inheritance The First Party The Night House in other words the bordello The Betting Booth at the racetrack The Gambling House The Usurer The Mess Room clearly the dining room of an elite military unit The Duel and finally The Sick Room. We would note that the Usurer has the casual anti-Semitic trope so prevalent throughout history of the hook-nosed lender. The artwork has a pleasant slightly naive quality with the loosest of adherence to perspective. The settings are generally quite resplendent capturing Regency England grandeur perfectly. Scarce. Yale has several copies. Only two other complete sets held by institutions according to OCLC First Search one at Harvard and one somewhat later and published by Tegg at the Art Institute in Chicago. The Henderson version clearly the first was issued without color we would add. The Harvard Hollis catalogue gives no indication whether the copy at Houghton has hand-coloring -- something that Hollis generally will denote if it does. No copies found in commerce on date of this description was prepared. Light wear to binding. Light soiling in the margins of the plates. Pictorial elements consistently bright and attractive. George Henderson. Printed by George Dawe, who also was engraver unknown
