AVIGNON, chez J.-A. Joly- 1817 - 2 volumes In-16 - Reliure pleine toile postérieure - Dos lisse - Pièce de titre en maroquin cerise, titre doré - Frontispice dans chaque tome - XXII- 175 & 192 pages - Bon exemplaire La première édition de “Gulliver” fut publiée en Angleterre en 1726 et la première traduction française parut deux ans plus tard. Dans ce fameux ouvrage la satire s'exerce à différents niveaux: allusions à la politique et à la cour d'Angleterre, critique de mœurs (au pays des géants), diatribe contre la nature humaine (chez les Houynhnhnms, où les chevaux règnent en maîtres). Malgré ses succès littéraires, Swift connut une existence malheureuse et finit par sombrer dans la folie.

From the Library of Edwin Wolf II. The text itself is ascribed to Laurence Howell (1664?-1720) by Halkett & Laing, but the greatest interest in this book comes from its engraved typography and decorations. John Sturt (1658-1730), was apprenticed at the age of 17 to Robert White, in whose manner he engraved a number of small portraits as frontispieces to several books. Becoming associated with John Ayres, he engraved the most important of that writing-master's books on calligraphy, and acquired celebrity for his skill in such work. The amazing skill of his engraving artistry still astonishes us. This work is probably somewhat scarcer than Sturt's more famous "Book of Common Prayer", especially in this (first?) state with single cherubs blowing horns at each side of the border of p. IX. Though some copies do have a list "Subscribers" pp. [83]-[85] - none is present here, nor does one seem to have ever been bound in the book. Maybe Sussex had some objection to some on the list?

Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858. Nice copy of the First Quarto Edition, with the plates being mounted proofs on India paper. Bridson & White C537; Nissen BBI 1907. RARE. **PRICE MUCH REDUCED! PLANTS W134
