Condition: Fair. Henry Alken, D. Maclise (illustrator). First edition. 301p + 13 plates by Henry Alken and a frontispiece portrait by Daniel Maclise. Covers rubbed and spotted. Frontispiece loosening. Lacks some of the tissue guardsheets. The margins of the opening spread and the plates are discolored and sometimes heavily foxed. I don't know the cause of the discoloring. The text pages are clean. Three long articles on hunting, racing, and driving, reprinted from the Quarterly Review. Lots of colorful detail. On the elegance of London coachmen processing through Hyde Park he writes, "it is hard to determine which shine brightest, the lace on their clothes, their own round faces, or their flaxen wigs,--the pipe-clayed reins--pipe-clayed lest they should soil the clean white gloves,--the gigantic young fellows, in huge cocked hats, bedaubed with lace, in laced silk stockings, new kid gloves, and with gold-headed canes, . . . not forgetting the spotted coach-dog, which has just been washed for the occasion." However, he also notes that "like all other trades, coach-making is on the wane" and prices are dropping. An edition that often shows wear. Reading copy, sold as is, priced accordingly. Hardcover (marbled boards, half leather).
