4to (240 x 180mm), pp. [iv], 266, [1] list of plates and errata, [1] advertisements; with a frontispiece and 15 other hand-coloured aquatint plates, as called for in Abbey; a little spotting but generally an excellent, clean copy, rebound in modern half polished roan over marbled boards (a little rubbed), spine lettered in gilt; marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. First and only edition of an account of a trip from London to the west country, finely illustrated by three artists, Julius Caesar Ibbetson, John Peter Laporte and John Hassell, and presumably mostly written by Ibbetson himself. Splendidly adorned with 16 plates in coloured aquatint, this is a typical product of the search for 'picturesque' qualities in a natural landscape, as encouraged by William Gilpin and others. All of the aquatints are by Hassell, but the many of the first group are after pictures by Ibbetson; Laporte seems to have contributed just one image (the plate opposite p. 184) to the art on display here. Abbey Scenery 38; Tooley 277. Provenance. Said to have been in the collection of John Arlott (1914-91), cricket writer and commentator, and collector of English illustrated books.…

Ibbetson was a Yorkshire born artist whose first opportunity came when he was invited to accompany Cathcart on his embassy to China. Cathcart died en route, however, and this seems to sum up Ibbetson's luck; soon after his elegant views of Bath had been aquatinted and published by Hassell, his wife died. He had already suffered the loss of eight children and this latest tragedy brought on an attack of brain fever. After he recovered from this he found that he had been robbed by his servants; this led him to seek escape in a life of dissipation which led to penury. At the end his artistic skill enabled him to pay off his debts. The small scale of his drawings suited book illustration and his special skill as an animal, and in particular, cattle painter can be seen in the illustrations in this work. First edition; 4to (24.5 x 19.5 cm); 16 hand-coloured aquatint plates including frontispiece, with the half-title, a touch of spotting to least few leaves otherwise clean internally; later full calf, gilt rolled boards, gilt spine in six compartments with contrasting gilt lettering piece, board edges and turn-ins gilt rolled, all edges gilt, extremities a little rubbed, otherwise a very good copy; [4], 266, [2]pp. Abbey (Scenery), 38; ESTC T54291; Tooley 277.…

With a manuscript note on p.158 disputing a point in the text regarding the mayor of Bristol's salary, rare occasional spotting and light toning, generally an excellent copy. *The list of plates at the rear calls for "View from the Ferry-house, on the river Avon, looking towards Dundry Tower" to be bound in facing p. 172.

Abbey and Tooley both list this "Passage House" plate instead of the "Ferry-house" plate called for in the directions to the binder. (Abbey Scenery 38; Tooley 277). …
