'James Hakewill (17781843), architectural draughtsman, was born on 25 November 1778, the second son in the family of eight surviving children of John Hakewill (17421791), landscape and portrait painter, and decorator, and his wife, Anna Maria Cook (17471818). The architect Henry Hakewill (17711830) was his brother. He was trained as an architect and entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1807, from which date he became a regular exhibitor there. The same year he married Marie Catherine, daughter of W. Browne of Green Street, Grosvenor Square, London. She was a portrait painter and frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Society of Arts. They had four sons, the youngest of whom were Frederick Charles Hakewill, a portrait painter, and Richard Wentworth Hakewill. James Hakewill is chiefly known for his architectural publications. In 1813 he published The History of Windsor and its Neighbourhood, illustrated with engravings from his own drawings. In 181617 he travelled in Italy, and on his return published A Picturesque Tour of Italy (181820), his best-known work, illustrated with plates engraved from watercolours painted by J. M. W. Turner, based on sketches by Hakewill. After a visit to Jamaica, Hakewill published A Picturesque Tour in the Island of Jamaica (1825), from his own drawings. Other works included Plans, sections, and elevations of the abattoirs in Paris, with considerations for their adoption in London (1828) and An Attempt to Determine the Exact Character of Elizabethan Architecture (1835). At the end of his life he worked on drawings for a book on the Rhine, to be a companion volume to Italy, but this was not completed.' (DNB) (Pine-Coffin, 816.7).

Contemporary puce cloth, blue paper spine label printed gilt; covers scratched and bubbled here and there, extremities sunned and slightly abraded, label rubbed and cracked. FIRST EDITION, THE PERALTA-RAMOS COPY, apparently an unrecorded later issue. "A charming colour plate book that has become quite scarce and valuable" (Tooley). Hakewill's views of Jamaica were issued in seven parts between 1824 and 1825. According to Abbey, part 2 included the very rare leaf about the conditions of Blacks on smaller paper stock (not present in this copy). The introduction incorporates Hakewill's interesting observations about race relations and the practice of slavery on the island. The plates and text are variously watermarked Whatman |Turkey Mills, J. Whatman, or Whatman and dated 1821, 1823, and 1825, with three exceptions: the "Kingston & Port Royal" and " Bridge over the White River" plates are dated 1832 and the text for St. Thomas in the Vale is watermarked Whatman | 1831. Since there is no indication that the work was ever reissued, it had been previously postulated that the mold used on these two plates contained a missetting, i.e., a transposition of the numbers 2 and 3. The presence of the 1831 watermark for the St. Thomas in the Vale text would seem to disprove that theory.
