PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS OF BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO CONSISTING OF TWENTY=FOUR VIEWS: ACCOMPANIED WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SCENERY AND OF THE COSTUMES MANNERS &c. OF THE INHABITANTS OF THOSE CITIES AND THEIR ENVIRONS

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. "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. Aside from its perplexing publishing history this book remains a beautiful pictorial record of early 19th-century life. ABBEY 698. SABIN 99460. TOOLEY 1954 495. THOMSON 31. COLAS 3000. PALAU 363371.

"Not an uncommon book but owing to the importance of its subject and the fact of its being the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine it always commands a high price" Tooley. Emeric Essex Vidal ca. 1788-1861 born into a naval family joined the Navy in 1808 and spent much of his career as a purser. He was stationed in 1820-1821 at St. Helena as secretary to Admiral Lambert on H.M.S. Vigo. Vidal was a distinguished painter and many of his fine drawings like those of his brother Alexander were adapted for the engraved vignettes on early issues of certain British Admiralty charts. Abbey describes only a red cloth binding on his large paper copy. The green cloth of the present copy with slightly different tooling on the spine without the phrase "24 plates coloured" is obviously a variant. Abbey Travel 698. Colas 3000. Hiler p. 878.
