"English interest in South America flourished after the capture of Buenos Aires by Commodore Sir Home Popham and Colonel Beresford in 1806 .

1820179207London: R. Ackermann 1820. Stunning views of South America First edition a desirable copy with pre-publication watermarks dated 1818 of "the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine" Tooley. The hand-painted aquatints offer some of the finest depictions of early 19th-century life customs and architecture in the Río de la Plata region. The English sailor Vidal 1791-1861 joined the Royal Navy in 1808 serving as a purser for the next five decades. The plates in his book were based on drawings he made when he visited South America with HMS Hyacinth in 1816-8 as secretary to the admiral on the South American Station. They constitute "the main source of pictorial information about early Argentina" Speake p. 39 and "possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Hardie. Some of the scenes included are "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos of Tucman" and "A Horse Race". Vidal depicts the inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de la Plata Regions outdoor markets and plazas and buildings. "Through E. Vidal's watercolours. you get a sense of the city house facades Vidal never painted any interiors made not of rare stone but of baked adobe bricks called chorizos - sausages" Wilson p. 13. The work was first published in six monthly parts between May and October 1820. The early watermarks here suggest that this volume was possibly bound from the parts rather than from later book-form issues. Ackermann announced 750 small paper and 50 large paper copies. A comparison with the Abbey copy indicates that this example is from the smaller format. Large quarto 325 x 250 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates 1 double-page 3 folding. Twentieth-century blue morocco to style spine with raised bands gilt lettering and decoration in compartments covers bordered with blind and gilt frames board edges and turn-ins elaborately gilt grey endpapers edges gilt. Light damp staining to margins of 3 folding plates tape repair on verso of "Buenos Ayres" plate offsetting to contents faintly toned but clean. A very good copy.

1820WRCAM55021London: Published by R. Ackermann 1820. xxviii115pp. plus twenty-four colored aquatints including one double-sheet and three folding. Large quarto. Antique-style blue morocco boards tooled in gilt and blind spine gilt with raised bands a.e.g. Minor staining in lower margin and tape repair to verso of one folding plate. Occasional marginal thumbsoiling minor offsetting but on the whole quite clean internally. A very good copy handsomely bound. A superbly illustrated work about the people and places of Buenos Aires and Monte Video with striking colored aquatints by the prominent engraver and publisher R. Ackermann making this one of the premier South American view books. Some of the scenes people and places depicted are: "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos sic Rustics of Tucuman" and "A Horse Race." Also depicted are representative inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de La Plata regions and picturesque views of outdoor markets and plazas. Originally issued in six monthly parts the work was then offered in book format apparently bound first in boards and in a later issue bound in half leather. Abbey follows Tooley in suggesting that there were apparently four issues all with the same title and plates and all with the same 1820 watermarks but he provides no satisfactory manner of differentiating the editions; and consequently aside from the original issue in six separate parts there is no means of establishing issue priority. At the time of publication Ackermann announced the production of 750 regular paper copies and fifty large-paper copies. <br> <br> "In 1820 began a series of books dealing with travel and scenery. The first was PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS OF BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO with descriptions of scenery customs and manners by E.E. Vidal. The book was issued in six monthly parts seven hundred and fifty copies on elephant paper and fifty on atlas.The twenty-four aquatints all after drawings by Vidal four of them being large folded plates are engraved by G. Maile J. Bluck T. Sutherland and D. Havell.and possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" - Hardie. <br> <br> Aside from its perplexing publishing history this book remains a beautiful pictorial record of early 19th-century life.

Fue vuelto a procesar en 1820 por sus máximas anti-constitucionales y preso otra vez en la Ciudadela de Barcelona.
