A fine clean and tight copy of a book generally found with plates in sepia.<br/><br/>"Samuel Ireland 17-1800 was one of the most successful artists who devoted himself to the career of topographic print-making. In the ten years between 1790 and 1800 he brought out six books of views containing in all some two hundred and eighty plates all aquatinted by himself after his own drawings. He began his artistic career as a copier of prints and a dealer in them and in 1760 gained a medal from the Society of Arts. The success of his first book A Picturesque Tour through Holland Brabant and part of France 1790 encouraged him to other work of the sort and in 1793 and 1793 appeared to other books Picturesque Views on the River Thames and Medway and later again on the Avon 1795 and Wye 1797 and posthumously the Severn 1824. His son William was the notorious Shakespeare forger.<br/><br/>The London bindery of W. Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz.<br/><br/>Abbey Scenery 428. Prideaux p. 341. London: T. and J. Egerton, 1793 unknown books

The father recorded many local traditions which he accepted as true including those concocted for his benefit according to Sidney Lee by John Jordan a Stratford poet who was his chief guide throughout his visit. ------------ In his pursuit of information about Shakespeare Ireland learned from some of the oldest inhabitants that manuscripts had been moved from Shakespeare's residence at New Place to Clopton House at the time of the Stratford fire. To Clopton House he went where he learned from the tenant that the manuscripts he was seeking had been destroyed only a week before. His disappointment was extreme. 'My God! Sir you are not aware of the loss which the world has sustained. Would to heaven I had arrived sooner!' ------Today he is best remembered today as the chief victim of the Ireland Shakespeare forgeries created by his son William Henry Ireland. But alas that is a tale for another day. ----------- Ref English Short Title Catalog t79991; Abbey Scenery 427. Cox III182.
