Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP, 1918 on the Title Page). As is the case with the few other copies for sale, the tissue guard is very tanned and created a like tanning square on the title page. Including the frontispiece, there are sixteen illustrations, all in color. I turned over every page in the book so I can give you a pretty accurate description of the condition. All the illustrations are present and accounted for. They are in excellent condition. Surprisingly, given that they are on glossy paper, there isn't any foxing. On one illustration there is a very small spot at the bottom corner, and one other illustration has a teeny tiny closed tear off its bottom edge. The pages are exceptionally clean. I don't think I saw any of what I would call soiling. There are large parts of three pages (one the last page of the book) that have a sort of squared off tanning. In two instances the pages are facing another text page, and in the other it's facing the blank verso of a glossy illustration page. If I had seen it on any of the other text pages that face a glossy illustration page I would call it foxing, but I didn't, so it's a little mysterious. The top page edge is a faded green. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. I noticed only two instances where a very small bit of the outer edge of one page got pulled over onto the next one. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing on any of the pages. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. I usually begin with the condition of the covers. You can see them in the photos. They are quite clean. The gilt lettering on both the front cover and the spine is very bright. The six edges are in excellent shape, no rubbing. The four corners have only very small spots of rubbing. The spine ends have just the usual bit of crinkling/bending, and a tiny bit of rubbing. The book is pretty square and the spine is pretty straight. The binding of the covers is very solid. As mentioned I turned over all the pages and I can report that there are two instances where there is a clear space at the juncture between two facing pages. All four of the pages are solidly bound from top to bottom. There is a very thin space going down a couple of inches from the top edge at the juncture between the last page and the rear end paper, nothing much of anything. F. J. Widgery (illustrator).…

The son of another painter, Widgery studied under Verlat, in Antwerp, and von Herkomer. He spent his life in Exeter and in 1896 was commissioned to illustrate the 3rd edition of Samuel Rowe's A Perambulation of Dartmooor; the 22 landscapes which resulted form the centrepiece of this book which also contains numerous line drawings and sketches. The first section of the book considers the history of landscape artists on Dartmoor and explains why, compared with other parts of Britain, this region was not more popular. The artistic development and life of F. J. Widgery is next presented and the author is to be congratulated on bringing together this information for the first time. As well as being a professional artist Widgery was very active in local issues serving as a City Councillor and Mayor, a JP and Chair of the Town Planning Committee. It is interesting to speculate how Widgery might have developed and how much better known he might have been if he had chosen to establish a career in London rather than in Exeter. Unlike many artists of the time Widgery was not invited to paint any commissions for public buildings and so the paintings in this book are the best evidence of his abilities and interests. Each colour plate is accompanied by the appropriate section of Rowe's book so reproducing the original association of words and art. The final section brings together some contemporary writing about Dartmoor. Whilst Widgery's work is modest, his sketches and watercolours have a certain charm and, in view of the paucity of alternative artwork of the region, it is good to see his work so well presented. However, it is probable that this book will be of most interest to those living near Dartmoor or planning to visit. Ref RR1. F. J. Widgery (illustrator).…
