The author a native of Gradiz bishopric of Viseu who became a naturalized Brazilian was an admiral whose actions during the Rio de la Plata campaign 1826-1828 came under attack. A flurry of pamplets were exchanged beginning with: "Defeza do Almirante Pinto Guedes Barão do Rio da Prata perante o Conselho de Guerra a que respondeu pelo commando da Esquadra Imperial do Rio da Prata de que fora encarregado por nomeao de 6 de abril de 1826 a 19 de Dezembro de 1828 em que por outra semelhante ordem cessou a sua Commisso." it was followed by "Analyse e refutao do libello accusatorio que publicou o almirante Barão do Rio da Prata e contra alguns ministros d'estado E Rio de Janeiro 1829".

WITH 17 ANIMATED AQUATINT ENGRAVINGS COLORED BY HAND 14 plates in "Moments" and three plates in "Byron". Front flyleaf with bookplate of Ernest G. Mocatta. For "Moments": Tooley 40. See also: Ray p. 32; Houfe p. 217. ◆Leather with hints of dulling from leather preservative but the binding virtually unworn with a lustrous spine. A couple of trivial smudges to one margin and occasional light offsetting but A FINE COPY the plates clean and bright with vivid coloring and all imperfections insignificant.<br/> <br/> With plates that include comical scenes of horsemanship hunting soldiers and disastrous coach rides this attractively bound book brings together two separately published works by an artist Ray calls "the premier sporting illustrator of his time." The first work "Moments of Fancy and Whim" was originally published in two parts consisting of seven plates each. There are several different illustrations on every plate most of which use a play on words or a phrase especially one of the many uses of the word "fancy" to frame the scene. The illustrations lampoon familiar character types and aspects of English society--particularly those with an affinity for the equine--to wonderful comic effect. The second work here is composed of three plates each with four separate scenes accompanied by a line of verse from Byron's "Childe Harold" or "The Giaour." In this unexpected pairing Byron's lyric poetry is given an entirely new lowered context when interpreted through Alken's pen; for example the line "Tis Greece--but living Greece no more" is depicted as three men sitting down to a greasy dinner of roast duck. Henry Thomas Alken 1785-1851 was the son of a sporting artist. He received early training from his father and later studied under miniaturist J. T. Barker Beaumont. A talent for depicting horses and dogs led to a profitable career in sporting prints. As DNB relates "The fertility of Alken's pencil was amazing . . . . In all Alken's works there is a freedom of handling and a happy choice of subject which rendered them very popular in their day." The present works are both excellent examples of his signature style and are here in such marvelous condition that they can be fully appreciated for their wit spirit and vibrancy. Both are also quite rare on the market with "Moments" often showing up incomplete and "Byron" appearing only once in ABPC and RBH. Thomas M'Lean Repository of Wit and Humour unknown

1840ST19460Paris: L. Curmer 1840-42. First Editions. 264 x 178 mm. 10 3/8 x 7". Nine volumes. <br/> Very pleasing contemporary red cloth backed in red morocco by Weidle stamp-signed in gilt on tail of spines raised bands compartments with gilt lettering or large gilt decorative tool head compartment on each spine with sometimes blurred handwritten ink shelf number. WITH 415 FULL-PAGE PLATES HAND-COLORED AND ENHANCED WITH GUM ARABIC one in black & white including eight frontispieces all of the plates with original tissue guards one double-page map and numerous vignettes and head- and tailpieces in black & white after Bellangé Charlet Daubigny Daumier Gavarni Grandville Vernet Johannot etc. Front pastedowns with bookplate of Count Grigori Alexandrovitch Stroganov. A hint of rubbing to extremities occasional trivial scuff or small stain to boards but A FINE SET THE PLATES CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH RICH COLORING the contents fresh and clean and the essentially unworn bindings quite attractive on the shelf.<br/> <br/> Characterized by Carteret as the "most important publication of the Curmer editions" this series is one of the major works of the Romantic era presenting as it does a panorama of all classes of French society. An adept bookseller and publisher specializing in illustrated books Henri-Léon Curmer 1801-70 attracted some of the best artisans of the day and was known for the high quality of his output. For the present work he recruited some of the most famous writers of the period--Balzac one of the main contributors Gautier Nerval Borel Janin Monnier and Sand--to delineate the various professionals tradesmen and social "types" populating 19th century France. Their text is accompanied by more than 800 images--all but one of them beautifully hand colored--by Gavarni Eugène Lami Grandville Tony Johannot Daumier Henry Monnier Meissonier and others; there are also numerous wood-engraved vignettes in the text. The profiles of the various "types" of citizens are accompanied by portraits depicting them in their usual surroundings and featuring the physical characteristics assigned by the popular pseudo-scientific physiognomic theory to that trade gender or social class. As Carteret notes "The plates are of the highest interest for the history of costumes the fashion and the clothes of all the social classes of French society at the Romantic period; all the artists from the time took part in this huge publication." Of the nine volumes five depict Parisians three cover the provinces and the last "Le Prisme" looks at everything from "Tourists in Italy" to "A University Education" and "A Woman with No Taste." This final volume was issued exclusively to subscribers; Carteret calls it an "indispensable complement" to the series and notes that it "became very rare." The present set is comprised of first issue volumes which "can be recognized thanks to the whiteness of the pages and the delicacy of the coloring which was enhanced with gum Arabic; the second issue is on tinted paper and the coloring is less meticulous." Carteret This copy belonged to Count Grigori Alexandrovitch Stroganov who was born in September 1770 in St Petersburg and died in January 1857 in the same city. A Russian aristocrat and count of the Empire from 1826 Stroganov was also a diplomat and private adviser patron of the arts and one of the most cultivated men of his time. L. Curmer unknown
