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

Walker’s Ireland. 15-panel dissected hand-coloured engraved map.

184463111London: J.&C. Walker 9 Castle Street Published by Longman & Co. ca. 1844. 16mo. 3.5 x 5 in. folding out to 13.25 x 16.5 in. dissected 15-panel hand-coloured steel-engraved map linen-backed w/ 3 leaf folding population and mileage distance chart from Dublin by County mounted on front pastedown. Dark gray-green publisher’s cloth portfolio pocket binding decorative borders in blind gilt lettering stamped on front cover a NF copy. First edition thus of this very scarce dissected pocket map of Ireland published against the backdrop of the full impact of the Great Potato Famine which from 1841-1851 resulted in the diaspora and death of nearly 30% of the Irish population and as reflected in the mileage table mounted with the map the population in 1845 had already dropped from 8.2 million in 1841 to 7.7 million by 1844 and it would plummet further to below 6.5 million by 1851. The bulk of these emigrated to the United States Canada and the United Kingdom resulting in the fact that Ireland’s current population still resides below the high of 1841 and nearly 38 million Irish-Americans claim descent from the successive waves of migration much of which channeled through New York’s Lower East Side and the Bowery in the 19th-Century. John Walker 1787-1873 was a British mapmaker engraver lithographer hydrographer draughtsman and publisher publishing nautical charts and geographical maps with his brothers Charles and Alexander in their firm J.&C. Walker located at 9 Castle Street Holborn from 1841-1847 and moving to 37 Castle St. in 1848 where they remained to 1875. Much of their work was published under the auspices of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge or S.D.U.K. Worldcat locates 1 copy Yale. J.&C.
