Robinson, Paternoster-Row, London, 1790. First edition. Complete in five volumes, with all plates and folding maps called for present. ESTC T51608; Blackmer 221; Nissen ZBI 617; Gay 44; Hilmy I, p. 91; Cox I, p. 388. Five volumes, quarto. A remarkably attractive untrimmed set in uniform contemporary full tree calf, the figured boards bordered in gilt; spines with gilt rules and decorative tooling, red morocco title labels lettered "Bruce's Travels" and circular black morocco volume labels numbered in gilt. The broad surviving margins and period bindings give the set exceptional character and considerable shelf presence. One of the great African travel narratives of the eighteenth century. Bruce travelled from Egypt through the Red Sea and Arabia into Abyssinia, now Ethiopia, reaching the springs at Geesh in 1770, which he identified as the source of the Nile known to classical geography, now recognised as the source of the Blue Nile. His account gave European readers an extensive description of Ethiopia, its court, religious traditions, political life, languages, landscapes and natural history, while also recording Egypt, Nubia, Arabia and the wider Nile region. The fifth volume, with the separate title Select Specimens of Natural History, Collected in Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, in Egypt, Arabia, Abyssinia, and Nubia, is of particular importance. It gathers the natural history material from the expedition, with engraved illustrations after drawings by Bruce and his travelling companion Luigi Balugani, engraved principally by James Heath. The large folding maps provide the essential cartographical framework for Bruce's travels through the Nile regions and Abyssinia. The present set is complete with all plates and folding maps required for the first edition, including the natural history illustrations and the substantial folding maps shown in the photographs. Its untrimmed state is especially desirable: sets of this ambitious illustrated work are often encountered rebound or cut down, whereas these five volumes retain generous margins in their contemporary bindings. The bindings show rubbing, abrasion and wear to joints, spine ends and corners, with some age-related cracking and loss appropriate to a substantial working set of this period. Internally generally clean, with occasional spotting, offsetting and handling marks; the folding maps show expected creasing at folds and some age-related marking. Manuscript ownership inscription to the title page of Volume V. A highly appealing complete first edition of Bruce's monumental search for the source of the Nile: five untrimmed volumes in contemporary tree calf, complete with all plates and maps, and a cornerstone work for collections of Africana, Ethiopia, exploration, cartography and eighteenth-century travel.

William Henry Bartlett (born London, 1809) was one of the foremost illustrators of topography of his generation. He travelled extensively throughout Britain, the Americas, and the Middle East, producing his work on location. In 1854 he made his last trip to the Holy Land; he died of fever on board a French ship on his return voyage to England. Bartlett's primary concern was to extract the picturesque aspects of a place and render "lively impressions of actual sights", as he wrote in the preface to "The Nile Boat" (London, 1849). His work became widely known through the numerous engravings after the original drawings and paintings he made. The interest in these engravings today is as much for the exquisite quality of the rendering and presentation of the architecture of the period, as it is for the representation of the landscape. Published in 1836 by Peter Jackson, Late Fisher, Son & Co. of London, it was originally accompanied by descriptions written by John Carne. Clamshell.

Illustrated with 36 full page engraved plates. In very good condition with the plates bright and crisp. George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron, was an English poet and politician, and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems, Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the short lyric poem, "She Walks in Beauty". Byron is regarded as one of the greatest British poets. He traveled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy, where he lived for seven years in Venice, Ravenna and Pisa, where he had a chance to frequent his friend the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later in his brief life, Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero.

Condition: Good. Two engravings on one sheet, 25 x 19 inches. Few marginal tears.The top iamge is a copy of Paulson, 44.William Kent had painted at altarpiece for St. Clement Danes' church, depicting a celestial choir with five singing angels, a crowd of attendant cherubs, and the Holy Spirit in the shape of a Dove. The parishioners had commissioned the piece, because they were impressed by Kent's Court connections, however, they were greatly disappointed when the painting was unveiled, perhaps seeing a likeness in one of the angels to Priness Clementina Sobieski, wife of the Old Pretender, but more probably because Kent was, at times, a spectacularly bad painter. The congregation petitioned the Bishop of London, Edmund Gibson, to remove it; and it was duly removed to the vestry during September 1725, although it was borrowed from time to time by the Crown & Anchor Tavern for its Music Room. In a numbered, satirical key beneath the design, Hogarth highlights Kent's appallingly bad draughtsmanship and his out of proportion figures. The painting was destroyed by bombing in 1940. The plates were bought by the publisher Baldwin, Cradock and Joy at the Boydell sale in 1818. The Works of William Hogarth as published by Baldwin, Cradock and Joy in 1822 with the original plates restored by James Heath, engraver to His Majesty.

No Binding. Condition: Good. FREDERICK the IId KING OF PRUSSIA (antique 18th C engraving) engraved by James Heath after a painting Daniel Chodowiecki; from Johann Caspar Lavater's "Essays on Physiognomy, Designed to Promote the Knowledge and the Love of Mankind", c1790's. approx 9 1/2 x 8 1/2 ins. plate 78. . Johann Caspar Lavater was a swiss theologian and philosopher known throughout Europe for his studies on physiognomy. Following the physiognomy tradition of Della Porta and of many Renaissance and Baroque philosophers, he believed that the character of a person could be elucidated through examining their lines of countenance" i.e. tracing a profile outline portrait. Being able to "read outside" was the key to "know the inside". Lavater's thought largely influenced Art in the late 18th and early 19th century, as in the case of Johann Fuseli and William Blake (who realized two etchings for Lavater's English edition of his Essay). Lavater was convinced that he could show his theories by analyzing the portraits of some of the main historical figures of the past, in some cases taken from paintings or (mainly for antiquity) sculptures. Some of the engravings in his volume, made by great masters of the time, are still considered today as graphic masterpieces. "very good for age" SEE OTHER LAVATER ENGRAVINGS TOO.
