Hardcover. Condition: Good. First edition, second printing. Folio. Lithographed calligraphic dedication. Later half red morocco. Second printing of the first edition of 1843 (possibly a first printing with amended title-page as few copies of the original were sold). Probably the grandest work from the early days of railways, con…taining many iconic images now familiar because of their use in subsequent publications. This copy is rendered particularly collectable due to the plates relating to the railways being brought to life skilfully by a contemporary colourist. Although the work is commonly attributed to Bourne, the descriptive text was actually written by George Thomas Clark, an engineer & respected geologist who worked with Brunel on two sections of the line and was responsible for the Basildon and Moulsford bridges. Like Bourne's representations of the London and Birmingham Railway, the work is one of the few detailed contemporary visual records of the construction methods and the scenery shortly after the completion of the railway, but in this case a smaller proportion of the illustrations show the construction work in progress. "This volume furnishes that information, with much other interesting; matter of a collateral nature. Mr. Bourne's lithographic drawings are already favourably known, and it is sufficient to say that he has displayed the same spirit, taste, and accuracy of delineation in this work as in his former subjects. The present views embrace thirty-six different points upon the Great Western, from the Paddington Station and the Hanwell Viaduct, to the Slough and Swindon Stations; and particularly the Great Box Tunnel, also the interesting scenery and works in the vicinity of Bath and Bristol. There are also fourteen architectural drawings as an Appendix, being views and details of the most remarkable ancient churches upon the line of the railway, their fonts, doorways, sepulchral effigies, &c." (The Gentleman's Magazine, 1846). Additional title with some slight wear to inside margin, letterpress title with foxing, some light staining mostly to lower fore-corner of early contents, mainly contained to the margins, overall internally very good. Abbey, Life 399; Ottley 5930. Hand-coloured lithographed additional title, 33 hand-coloured lithographs relating to railways, on 29 sheets, list of plates with lithographed vignette, 2 lithographed end-piece views on mounted india paper; 14 further lithographed illustrations on 4 shee (illustrator).

Contact seller4-star sellerAverage. All four views exhibit repairs to large tears, some extending deep into the page. All tears have been closed and stabilized. The 'east' view has some discoloration along the left side. Each view measures 11 x 19.5 in. Size 13.75 x 24 Inches. This is a rare set of four 1909 Edward Spofford views of Manhattan, New York, a…s seen from the deck of the Singer Tower. This view was issued at the dawn of the Skyscraper Age when the Singer Tower (1908 - 1968) was the world's tallest building. Thus, Spofford's views, commissioned by the Singer Company, were novel to most New Yorkers, who could have never imagined seeing their city from such a lofty perspective. It is also Spofford's earliest known work. They are a stunning celebration of one of New York's long-lost architectural wonders, a casualty of 'modernization' in the 1960s. A Closer Look These views consist of four images, all from the roof of the Singer Tower, but each looking over Manhattan from a different direction. The views are lithographs from Spofford's pencil sketches. They capture a host of smaller buildings, bridges, and bustling streets that combine automotive and horse-drawn traffic. In the northward-oriented view, the Met Life Tower, also completed in 1909, stands as a stark counterpoint. Along the Hudson are New York's once-famous passenger piers, including those of White Star. Looking south, the Battery, Governor's Island, and the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor are all illustrated. All four views feature a ghosted image of the Singer Tower along the right side. The Singer Tower The Singer Tower, located in New York City, was an iconic early skyscraper completed in 1908 as the headquarters of the Singer Manufacturing Company, famed for its sewing machines. Designed by renowned architect Ernest Flagg, it stood at 612 feet (187 meters) and was the tallest building in the world at the time of its completion, holding that title until 1909. The building's design combined elements of Beaux-Arts and French Renaissance styles, with a slender, ornate tower rising from a more substantial base. Its red brick and white terracotta façade made it a striking addition to the Manhattan skyline, and its observation deck offered breathtaking views of the city. Despite its architectural significance, the Singer Tower was demolished in 1968 to make way for the modernist U.S. Steel Building (now 1 Liberty Plaza), making it one of the tallest buildings ever purposefully dismantled. Its demolition marked a turning point in preservation efforts, sparking debates about the loss of historic landmarks in favor of modern development. Publication History and Census These views were published in 1909 for the Singer Manufacturing Company. They were drawn by Edward W. Spofford and constitute his earliest known work - the beginning of a life-long viewmaking career. Today, these views are rare, with the only known complete set being held at the New York Public Library. References: New York Public Library, Eno 450+ (1-4).
