One of 48 separate serialized subscription offerings issued under the title "The Works of Shakspere (sic) Edited by Charles Knight", this entry in the series is King Henry VI-Part II-ActI-ActV, preceded by a large engraving from The Merry Wives of Windsor (see scan), executed by C. Clint, A.R.A. painter and H. Bourne, engraver, and some commentary on King Henry Vi, Part I.

12mo, 3 pp. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. 'Mr Westmacott [the sculptor Richard Westmacott the younger?]' has called on him, and he has 'shown him the settlement all down my Wall - I told him that you had seen it but did not contemplate any immediate danger - he said that Mr Valpy [Henry Valpy (fl.1851-1885) of the architects Burrell & Valpy] was out of town'. Westmacott will write to Valpy, as he thinks there ought to be 'a conference with' Lakyn, who 'should be requested to make a report'. The 'suggestion' Newton has made 'as to the Iron ties will be indispensable - & furthermore that the East wall near door to me should be rebuilt - as it must have weakened the North East angle'. The 'wall of Mr Slades house' has fallen down 'with a tremendous crash - while they were digging for the underpinning' [according to the Survey of London, Stephen Slade lived at 8 Argyle Street from 1819 to 1864]. From what Newton sees 'as to a preparation for a Wall' he fears that the builders 'intend to come beyond the opening of my light'. Asks Lakyn to 'look in' if he 'should be coming this way'. Newton moved from 6 Argyle Street, where he had lived since 1820, in 1866.

Condition: Good. First edition in publisher's original colour illustrated stiff deep French flap card wrap covers [soft back]. Quarto. 10½'' x 7ĵ''. This book brings together 32 texts about Velázquez that appeared between 1964 and 2006 in academic publications, exhibition catalogues, newspapers and general magazines. A good number of them are published here in Spanish for the first time. The set is the result of Jonathan Brown's long dedication to the life and works of the great Spanish painter, and also collects his opinions on many of the attempts to solve the mysteries that arise from the paintings of this enigmatic artist. All these issues are addressed in the last of the essays, "Velázquez, today and tomorrow," unpublished so far. There are two issues that give unity to the set of essays. Velázquez was a painter of the court of Felipe IV, and the changing relationship he maintained with the monarch is the framework in which the artist's career has to be interpreted. The central element of this relationship is Las Meninas, to which Brown dedicates two long essays: the classic one "On the meaning of Las Meninas" (1978) and "Las Meninas as masterpiece" (1999). The second theme is the question of the attributions and the related problem of the innovative technique of the artist. Velázquez was not a prolific painter. Since most of his safe works are in museums today, and as the price of large paintings continues to break records, determining what new works are authentic is an increasingly controversial task. In this book, Brown addresses this issue in its broadest dimension and participates in the debate on some specific attributions. Contains 449 printed pages of Spanish text with monochrome and colour illustrations, works of art and photographs throughout. In Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A.

State "A" of volumes one and three, state "B" (issued with part 16) of volume two. 19th-century half-Morocco to style over marbled boards, spines gilt. Within individual chemises and slipcases. First edition of this Americana highspot, a profusely illustrated record of prominent nineteenth-century Native Americans, which was "the grandest color-plate book issued in the United States up to the time of its publication." (Reese) Thomas McKenney, a Quaker, was Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1816-1822. While in this post he became concerned for the survival of Western tribes after observing unscrupulous people taking advantage of Native Americans for profit. McKenney decided to create an archive to preserve the artifacts and history of Native Americans whose culture was disappearing due to settler-colonialism. A visit to the studio of artist Charles Bird King inspired McKenney to add portraits to his archive. McKenney helped start the first national collection in Washington, the Archives of the American Indian, and served as curator of this archive while he was Superintendent of Indian Affairs and head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Perhaps surprisingly, in his government role, McKenney advocated for Indians to be removed to somewhere west of the Mississippi and the portraits he commissioned make reference to the benefits of missionary and "civilizing" work. He was instrumental in the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act, but also criticized some government policies toward Indians, which led President Jackson to dismiss McKenney from his post in 1830. After leaving government, McKenney was able to turn more of his attention to his publishing project recording biographies and portraits of Native Americans. Within a few years, he was joined by James Hall, a journalist, lawyer, and the Illinois state treasurer, who had written extensively about the West. Both authors saw their book as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. The text, which was written by Hall based on information supplied by McKenney, takes the form of a series of biographies of leading figures among the Indian nations, followed by a general history of the North American Indians. The work is famous for its color-plate portraits of chiefs, warriors, and women of various tribes, which are faithful copies of original oils by Charles Bird King. King painted the illustrious Indians from life in his studio in Washington, D.C., where McKenney commissioned him to record visiting Indian delegations from 1821 to 1837. At times King's paintings were worked up from the watercolors of the young frontier artist, James Otto Lewis. All but four of the book's original paintings were destroyed in the disastrous Smithsonian fire of 1865; their appearance in this work preserves what is probably the best likeness of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the early 19th-century. Among King's sitters were Sequoyah, Red Jacket, Major Ridge, Cornplanter, and Osceola. This was the most elaborate plate book produced in the United States to that date, and its publishing history is complex. Its production spanned eight years, multiple lithographers, and was funded by 1,250 subscribers. The title pages give an indication of issue: Volume I, first issue was by Edward C. Biddle and is dated 1836; the second issue was by Frederick W. Greenough with the date 1838; and the third issue is by Daniel Rice and James G. Clark and dated 1842. Volume II, first issue is by Frederick W. Greenough and dated 1838; and the second issue is by Rice and Clark and dated 1842. Volume III, first issue is by Daniel Rice and James G. Clark and dated 1844.
