COLLATION:[2] pp.,[i]-xxvii [xxviii is Direction to binders], [1] - 378pp. [379 pp. eratta].**SUBJECT: The British and Chinese crew aboard the East India Company's packet ship Antelope comes to harm in July, 1783 as their ship is blown off course in a gale off of Macau, stranding them upon the coral banks of a hitherto unexplored group of South Pacific (now Micronesian) islands between Guam and the Phillipines. The Captain, Henry Wilson, and crew pull off a remarkable feat of salvaging the remains of the ship to build a sloop, enabling the crew to set sail via Canton to England after only four months on Oroolong, the island gifted them by the Pelau King Abba Thulle. Compiler George Keate uses journals, interviews and the log to tell the human story of an unplanned yet remarkably fruitful voyage of exploration and anthropological discovery. The Pelew (Pelau, or Belau) kingdom of the chief Abba Thulle extends generous hospitality and friendship to the travelers, inviting mutual respect and kindness. In return, the British aid them in medical matters and several battles against rival islanders. They are gifted various Pelauan "ornaments"( which make up some of the illustrations) as they set off four months later to return to England, also bringing with them the King's nephew, Prince Lee Boo, who lives for a time with Mr. Keate and his family. Keate wrote a second title about Lee Boo's time in England, and his daughter Caroline provides a portrait from memory used here, when Lee Boo died from smallpox in Dec., 1784. **ILLUSTRATIONS: Arthur William Devis (1762-1822 ) shipped out as the official East India Company Artist in 1782, and by 1783 was aboard the shipwrecked "Antelope" in Palau. Trained as an academic painter and portraitist, he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and other galleries. The British Museum has several of his original portrait drawings from the voyage which appear in the book, including that of the Prince Lee Boo (Lebu) and his father, Arra Kook (Arra Kooger), as well as a portrait of a Chinese lady drawn after the crew regrouped in Macau and Canton in 1784. (British Museum online). Luckily, there were numerous artistically-inclined sketchers on this voyage, including the Captain himself, making possible a thoroughly fascinating pictorial record of the events, cultural history and people. The brother of artist Edwin Landseer, the engraver Thomas Landseer was also employed on this work, as prepared back in London. BIBLIOGRAPHERS cite five editions by 1804, including a pirated Irish edition and one in French; it has been an enduringly popular narative, variously abridged and translated into many languages in the ensuing years, due to the particularly well-told tale on a very human scale. **PROVENANCE: Viscount Falmouth, Mereworth Castle, Kent (engraved bookplate). This stunning early eighteenth-century Palladian home, designed by Scottish architect Colen Campbell, appeared in film as the residence of Agent 007, in the 1967 Sean Connery/ James Bond film, "Casino Royale," immortalized from the 1953 Ian Fleming novel. The book is presumed to have belonged to the 3rd Viscount Falmouth, George Evelyn Boscawen, (d.1808) whose family crest upon the bookplate features distinctive heraldry of lions rampant with the tail of a fish. (His father, the 2nd Viscount Falmouth, Hugh Boscawen, (d. 1782) was a naval Admiral. Also, THOMAS TWYSDEN, (d. 1801) whose name appears signed in old ink to the title page, also had a distinguished and lengthy naval career, entering service in 1781 as Fourth Lieut. of the 74-gun ship of the line, The Defense, in 1793.

F…irst Edition, Limited to 112 copies, signed by the publishers. "The real work in a fine wood-engraving is seldom revealed by ordinary printingHere all that is in the block is presented, and the translucent Japanese paper, with its silk-like texture, adapts itself admirably to the fine velvet tone of the ink. Add to this the loose mounting, which causes the engraving to cast a shadow on the white paper underneath, thereby softening, refining and enriching the tone of the whole, and it will be perceived that a secret of the art is being for the first time formally shared with such part of the world abroad as that to which this work shall fall."

Original copper engraving (60 x 44 cm, overall sheet 69 x 55 cm). Light foxing to outer margins, not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints . Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803. In 1789, the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery, an exhibition space in Londo…n's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' (the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible, mythology or the classics) in contemporary British art, a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare, which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century? The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84, along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted, reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase, either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.

Contact seller3-star sellerFIRST EDITION. 198 x 122 mm. (7 1/2 x 4 7/8"). Two volumes. Extremely pleasing contemporary crimson pebble-grain morocco, covers with a double gilt rule surrounding a large scrolling central frame, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments with elaborate small tools radiating from floral centerpieces, turn-ins gilt, patterned end…papers, all edges gilt. WITH A TOTAL OF 36 ENGRAVED PLATES (18 in each volume) by William and Edward Finden and others, as called for, after sketches by Bacon and Captain Meadows Taylor. Joints just a bit rubbed at head and tail, two small scratches to one cover, corners with just a whisper of wear, occasional faint offsetting from plates, the faintest foxing or stains to a very few plates, a bit of thumbing, otherwise beautiful copies with only the most trivial of imperfections. These are handsomely bound and extraordinarily well-preserved copies of the final two volumes of a series inspired by the author's time on the Indian subcontinent. The son of a noted sculptor, Thomas Bacon (1813-92) was a talented artist whose service in the Bengal Horse Artillery furnished him with endless fascinating and "exotic" subjects for his sketches and drawings. In 1837, he published "First Impressions and studies from nature in Hindostan," which found an appreciative audience at a time when illustrated travelogues were much in vogue. He produced illustrations for Wilson's "Oriental Portfolio," and for the present "Oriental Annual," which had brought stories and views of the Far East to the British public, beginning in 1834. In the 1839 edition, Bacon and his very able engravers, the Finden brothers, present dramatic scenes of the seas around Tenerife and of the peaks of the Himalayas, along with wonderfully detailed depictions of "monumental architecture," including temples, tombs, and military installations. For the 1840 volume, Bacon collaborated with his friend Captain Philip Meadows Taylor (1808-76) a longtime British administrator with extensive knowledge of the region. There is more focus on cities in this volume, and the authors recount both legends and historical facts to set the scene. The plates include a portrait of the emperor of Delhi but focus on city views and fine architecture. Produced when William (1787-1852) and Edward (1791-1857) Finden were in an extended period at the top of their craft, the plates here are characterized by the great delicacy of detail, sophisticated gradation of light, and rich texture of surface for which they were known. While volumes from this periodical series appear on the market regularly, they are rarely so finely bound and in such remarkable condition as the present pair.
