1943147785Buenos Aires: Editorial Viau S. R. Ltda 1943. Facsimile Reprint. Softcover. G Moderate edge wear and soiling to outer wraps; interior is crisp and clean. Tan paper wraps 117 pp. 24 color plates 4 fold-outs. Title on cover: Buenos Ayres and Monte Video in a series of Picturesque Illustrations Taken on the Spot. A facsimile reprint of the original book released in 1820 featuring these early 19th-century views from Argentina rendered by English painter Emeric Essex Vidal 1791-1861. Includes an introduction and a running narrative by the artist. The illustrations appear in color here; one presumes that in the 1820 edition they did not have the benefit of such technology. As such this book should be of interest to both art lovers and historians with an Argentinian focus. #1225 of 3470 copies. Editorial Viau S. R. Ltda paperback books

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.

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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Abbey Travel 698. Colas 3000. Hiler p. 878.
