Quarto publisher's original Irish green cloth the spines gilt decorated with gilt lettering and elaborate pictorial Irish motifs the covers with all over designs stamped in blind and with a central gilt pictorial ornament surrounded by vines and flowers gilt all edges gilt one of the most preferred of the bindings used by the publisher's to present this fine work. vi 1794 ads.; iv 186 pp. A really pleasing copy of this fine work both volumes beautifully preserved and in essentially fine condition the light wear or evidence of age comes primarily from shelving the plates and text-blocks are in fresh and clean condition with only very occasional evidence of the usual spotting to which the paper is prone. As usual the engraved titles with a bit more of the spotting. Generally a very clean and handsome set in unusually nice condition. AN ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL WORK FILLED WITH PICTURESQUE STEEL ENGRAVED SCENES OF IRELAND. William Bartlett traveled extensively throughout Europe and the East with his good friend Dr. Beattie and brought home over a thousand drawings. Eventually they were engraved and published into volumes with descriptive text. Here we find one of one of Bartlett's best works partly attributable to the magnificent scenery of the country described. Each engraving combines attention to detail subtle use of lighting and shade and romantic portrayal of the landscape. Scenes are rendered from virtually every corner of the country and include both natural and architectural compositions.<br> The text focuses heavily on the history of each locale but also includes local customs sights and first hand travel impressions. A somewhat elusive title in the Bartlett oeuvre these illustrations of Ireland are typical of his best and most famous work. George Virtue hardcover

1842113713London: George Virtue. Good with no dust jacket. 1842. Presumed First Edition but Undated. Hardcover. NO Date or Edition shown - the consensus seems to be circa 1842 - and as the title page states that "Literary Portion of the Work" is only done by J. Stirling Coyne in this copy I would assume that this may be a first and that the copies with the addition of N. P. Willis are later but I could be wrong. I can find little information on this. In a most attractive quite sumptuous full sage green leather decorated/illustrated on both covers and the spine in gilt. The base colour to the spine has sunned from green to a tan colour but all the gilt Irish themed illustration/titling is clear and bright. The covers' inner and outer edges all have gilt tooled decoration to the dentelles and all the page fore-edges are gilt. Some rubbing to the leather with a little chipping to the bottom of the spine but overall this is a really Lovely Example of Early/Mid-Victorian Binding - such a shame it is only ONE Volume of TWO. Anyone out there with a similarly bound Volume One . NO Inscriptions. Plain lemon endpapers. 6 182 pp 58 full page tissue-guarded steel engravings a tissue-guarded engraved title page with a large Vignette of Dangan Castle preceding the Printed Title. All collated and correct as per Illustration list. As usual with this type of book there is some foxing and some marks light yellow/brown spotting/patching here and there throughout the book but it's sporadic and most of the text is unaffected it's mainly the edges of the plates. Some plates are more spotted than others and some plates have have hardly any foxing. In the majority though I would say there is far less spotting in this copy than in many other similar books of this type/date I've seen - almost all the pages and some plates have almost no spots/marks. Irish views 59 featured in this volume include - Glengariff Killarney Cork River Kilkee Clifden Connemara Dublin Glendalough The Dargle Bray etc etc. This book is overweight at 1.7 Kilos UN-packaged and MAY require extra postage depending on your location.

William Henry Bartlett 1809-1854 was Born in Kentish Town London. The young Bartlett was apprenticed to John Britton 1771-1857. He became one of the foremost illustrators of topography of his generation travelling not just throughout Britain but to the Americas in 1839-42. In the mid/late 1840s he travelled extensively in the Balkans and Middle East. Bartlett travelled to all the places he drew unlike many of his contemporaries who worked up their pictures from sketches by others. Most of Bartlett's prints are steel engravings which was the dominant illustative process between around 1825 and 1845. He died of fever on board ship returning from his last trip to Israel in 1854.
