Complete two volume first edition set of the Jervas translation. Bindings need professional repair for Volume I's front board is detached with slender splitting to rear joint although with rear board still firm; likewise Volume II's joints have splitting with some pliability to front board but with its rear board still firm - sold as is. Hardcovers: H 28cm x L 22cm. Uniformly bound in contemporary (mid to late 1700s) full tree leather; boards rubbed with some old surface losses at bottom margins; shelf-wear to boards' gilt tooled edges; boards' gilt inner dentelles remain reasonably bright; spines retain their gilt tooled compartments and original dark red title labels and black volume# labels. No bookbinder marks present but likely the set is the product of a higher-end London bindery. Both volumes share the same Tonson and Dodsley 1742 London imprint and their title pages credit translator Charles Jarvis which is an incorrect spelling of his surname as it should be "Jervas" (the misspelling also occurs on the spine titles which specify "Jarvis's Don Quixote"). Each volume retains its original sewn-in dark green silk ribbon page markers although the usual expected fraying at their bottom ends. Marbled endpapers; both volumes have mid-18th century style armorial bookplate of Andrew Lindegren on their respective front pastedowns (which may or may not be Swedish immigrant iron ore importer Andrew Lindegren, ?-1783, of Portsmouth, England). Some light toning and scattered foxing to leaves. Text blocks are firm. ***** VOLUME I.

Copper engraving with the three-quarter length portrait of Dr Benjamin Hoadly, Bishop of Winchester and Prelate of the Order of the Garter, seated in his chair before a heraldic window, his left hand raised in a gesture of blessing and the Garter insignia on his breast. It was engraved with the burin by Bernard Baron after the portrait painted by William Hogarth, and carries below the inscription with the sitter's name and age, "Aet. 67. A.D. 1743". This impression was pulled on early 19th-century wove paper, with very wide margins, in the edition published by James Heath in London in 1822: it is not a lifetime impression. Bernard Baron (1696-1762), a French engraver settled in London, was one of the painter's regular collaborators, from Marriage a-la-Mode onward. Medium: Copper engraving (burin). Artist / after: William Hogarth (1697-1764). Engraver: Bernard Baron (1696-1762). Sitter: Benjamin Hoadly (1676-1761), Bishop of Winchester. Date: Copper of 1743; this impression from the James Heath edition, 1822. Dimensions: Plate mark 11.8 x 16.7 in (30 x 42.5 cm); sheet 19.3 x 24.8 in (49 x 63 cm). Condition: Fair. Paper with very wide margins and toning consistent with age; small tears at the right side that do not affect the image, one edge rough from removal from the binding and some rubbing in the margins.

Lo abrió al buril Bernard Baron sobre el retrato pintado por William Hogarth, y lleva al pie la inscripción con el nombre y la edad del retratado, «Aet. 67. A.D. 1743». Esta impresión se tiró sobre papel avitelado de principios del siglo XIX, con márgenes muy amplios, en la edición que James Heath publicó en Londres en 1822: no es una impresión de la vida de Hogarth. Bernard Baron (1696-1762), grabador francés establecido en Londres, fue uno de los colaboradores habituales del pintor, desde Marriage à-la-Mode. Técnica: Grabado calcográfico (buril). Autor / pintor: William Hogarth (1697-1764). Grabador: Bernard Baron (1696-1762). Retratado: Benjamin Hoadly (1676-1761), obispo de Winchester. Fecha: Plancha de 1743; esta impresión, edición de James Heath, 1822. Medidas: Huella 30 x 42,5 cm; papel 49 x 63 cm. Estado de conservación: Correcto. Papel con márgenes muy amplios y tostado propio de la edad; pequeños desgarros en el lateral derecho que no afectan a la imagen, borde irregular por el desmontado de la encuadernación y algún roce en los márgenes.
