Morris and Edward S. Levin laid in at front. Two-inch crease at bottom of rear joint but the joint not cracked or otherwise weakened a touch of rubbing to extremities occasional faint offsetting from illustrations other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY--clean fresh and bright internally with stately margins in a shimmering binding showing almost no signs of use.<br/> <br/> In its striking--and strikingly well-preserved--publisher's binding this grandly proportioned and thoroughly illustrated travelogue comes from a major American collection. Our author French painter and writer Charles Yriarte 1832-98 had begun travelling around Italy and the Balkans as a reporter for the "Monde Illustré" magazine. In 1871 he left the magazine to begin travelling and writing on his own. The present work was composed during this new period on a journey Yriarte took starting in Venice and along both coasts of the Adriatic Sea including the inland portions of the eastern Adriatic countries which he says in the introduction have been little-visited. His descriptions of landscapes architecture cultures and costumes he encountered are accompanied by a wealth of illustrations after a variety of artists which provide very romantic impressions of the scenery and peoples of the Adriatic coast. The binding is the work of engraver and designer Auguste Souze fl. 1857-92 who produced many dies for publisher's bindings in France during the third quarter of the 19th century. Our binding is profusely decorated with the iconography of the Adriatic region and the gilt and black are used very effectively to give depth and richness to the design. This volume comes from the splendid collection of publisher's bindings assembled over three decades by Ellen K. Morris and Edward S. Levin and exhibited at the Grolier Club in 2000. In a review of the sumptuous catalogue for the exhibition written for the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America Andrea Krupp praises the "pristine condition" of this "glittering and opulent collection.".

1807ST20596London: Printed for J. Johnson 1807. Second Edition. 225 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". iv 373 1 pp. <br/> Original blue paper boards and paper backstrip spine with original printed paper label EDGES UNTRIMMED. With 12 aquatint plates after sketches by Carr. A Large Paper Copy. First page of text with contemporary ink inscription reading "Ballygarth House." Lowndes I 377 1st ed. Boards with a couple of snags and faint stains corners minimally rubbed one plate with vague offsetting but AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY showing very few signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> In its remarkably well-preserved original boards this is a beautiful copy of a popular travel narrative. Sir John Carr 1772-1832 had originally trained as a lawyer but after visiting the Continent for his health made his career as a travel writer instead. The 1803 publication of the first edition of the present work launched him into fame as a writer. His subsequent works proved just as popular and after the 1806 publication of "The Stranger in Ireland" he was knighted by John Russell 6th Duke of Bedford then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Afterward Lord Byron in a suppressed verse from "Childe Harolde" appropriately called him "Green Erin's i.e. Ireland's knight and Europe's wandering star." Our copy's inscription indicates it belonged to the library of Ballygarth House very probably referring to Ballygarth Castle in County Meath Ireland the seat of the Pepper family which dates from the 14th century. While not a rare book it is uncommonly encountered in its original publisher's binding particularly in such fine condition as seen here. Even the richly printed aquatints which would typically be found foxed or causing offsetting are in virtually perfect condition. Printed for J. Johnson unknown
