A fine architectural engraving of Kenwood House in Hampstead London re-modelled in 1761-1773 and now home to the Iveagh Bequest picture collection.<br/> <br/>Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.<br/> <br/>Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.

177531064London 1775. Engraving by D. Cunego. Adam's design for a surprise for George III's 25th birthday<br/> <br/> Robert Adam was probably introduced to the Royal Family by Lord Bute fellow Scotsman and patron. Queen Charlotte employed him to create a large temporary folly in the garden of Buckingham House. As shown here several portals held large painted linens. These were allegories showing George III as a bringer of peace and prosperity the Treaty of Paris ending the Seven Years' War had recently been signed. These painting were illuminated from behind and the overall effect must have been quite grand. Adam clearly succeeded in making a structure that was festive triumphant and regal.

1830WRCAM34850Montreal: Printed at the Office of the Herald and New Gazette 1830. 216pp. Frontispiece. Original muslin-backed paper boards. Some minor foxing mostly in the first and final pages. A very good copy in original condition untrimmed. Kidd emigrated to Canada from Ireland at a young age and after being rejected for the priesthood he began publishing poetry. The epic main poem consumes over half the text with nearly forty shorter poems comprising the rest. Kidd claims that he travelled extensively among the Indians of Upper Canada and his poetry carries great sympathy for native peoples and their exploitation at the hands of European settlers. He writes that the "Huron Chief" was composed "on the inner rind of birch bark during my travels through the immense forests of America and under many difficulties and privations." He also claims that the poems would soon be published in native languages. SABIN 37700. TPL 1585. Printed at the Office of the Herald and New Gazette hardcover books

elala3110Montreal: Printed At The Office Of The Herald And New Gazette 1830. First Edition. The author emigrated to Canada from Ireland and published only this one volume of poetry which he dedicated to British poet Thomas Moore. Kidd died a tragic early death at the age of twenty-nine. He claims to have written the ‘Huron Chief’ on the inner rind of birch bark during his travels through the immense forests of America. “The innocent and unassuming friendly treatment that I experienced among the Indians together with the melancholy recital of the deep wrongs which they received from those calling themselves “Christians†induced me to undertake this dramatic poem. From the days of the American Revolution until this very hour the poor Indians have been so cruelly treated and driven from their homes and hunting-grounds by the boasted freemen of the United States that the Mohicans the Naragansetts the Delawares and others once powerful Tribes have now become totally extinct – while the remaining Nations are daily dwindling away and in a few years hence will scarcely leave a memorial to perpetuate their names as the once mighty rulers of the vast American regions…Many of the Indians Tribes have emigrated into Canada – and are now prospering and happily enjoying the manly protection of the British Government.†Preface Dionne III 228.
