About this Item

Folio, engraved hand-colored vignette title page plus 25 hand-colored lithographs; bound with: Mackreth, Robert. Beauties of the Rhine in a Series of Views Drawn from Nature, London: M. Colnaghi and W. Ginger, 1824. Folio, pp. [7], plus engraved hand-colored vignette title page and 12 hand-colored lithographs. Initially intended to be published in 1822, Prout's Illustrations of the Rhine ran into difficulties immediately with the original publishers, Rodwell and Martin, and none were published. They were supplanted by Ackermann in 1824, and a supplement was issued by a different publisher in 1826. While the supplement is not present here, there are three views, "Braubach," "St. Clement," and "The Plafz," which are not mentioned in Abbey. The plates in Prout's work are colored later while those in Mackreth have contemporary color. Abbey, Travel, 219 (Prout); Mackreth is not in Abbey.
