2 volumes. Folio (425 x 270mm). 104 engraved plates after Prout and Harding by Allen, Willmore and others (some occasionally heavy spotting, and some pale marginal waterstaining at end). Contemporary maroon morocco, gilt. Provenance: Armorial bookplates of Edward Henry Scott. Prout is remembered for his importance in introducing the subject of the European picturesque, to an appreciative chattering class. He was the principal English promoter of lithography as a reproductive method for landscapes in the 1820s, and notice has increasingly been given to his etchings, lithographs, and drawings. His watercolours are well represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the City Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham, and the City Art Gallery and Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester. Sketchbooks by Prout are in the National Maritime Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the North Devon Athenaeum, Barnstaple, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio. For most of his career a significant proportion of Prout's income came from the "print trade; among his publisher friends were Rudolph Ackermann-whose son Richard travelled with him in Germany in 1821-George Cooke, E. W. Cooke, and Charles Turner. Prout's account book for 1811-16 (North Devon Athenaeum, Barnstaple) lists more than 1330 watercolours and sepia wash drawings bought for a total of £800 by Thomas Palser (his first important client after John Britton) and Rudolph Ackermann. Prout was a prominent author of 'teach yourself' watercolour painting books. Rudiments of Landscape in Progressive Studies (1813) demonstrated how to draw and to add sepia wash, lessons illustrated through soft-ground etching and aquatint; the colour for the final lessons in A Series of Easy Lessons in Landscape Drawing (1820) was added by hand. Later art manuals such as Hints on Light and Shadow, Composition etc. (1836) and Prout's Microcosm: the Artist's Sketchbook (1841) were illustrated in the new technique of lithography, of which Prout was a pioneer. His first lithograph was published by Ackermann in 1817, and he contributed to Alois Senefelder's A Complete Course of Lithography in 1819. He used this technique for a volume of sixteen Marine Sketches (1820) and for the first of his next and celebrated speciality, the old towns of Europe, Picturesque Buildings in Normandy (1821), printed by Charles Hullmandel. He made his first foreign tour, to Normandy, in 1819, following in the footsteps of Edridge and Cotman and, by a small margin, was the first to publish his Normandy views in print form and the first to make a substantial show of them, exhibiting ten such subjects at the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1821. In the same fashion Prout can be said to have explored the old towns of France (Loire), the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany (Rhineland, Saxony, Bavaria, Bohemia), and Italy, all of which he toured between 1819 and 1829. From these visits came often repeated views of Rouen, Tours, Ghent, Strasbourg, Cologne, Nuremberg, Dresden, and Verona, to name but a few. "Prout's finest work in lithograph, Illustrations of the Rhine (1822-6), displaying wide and spacious river landscapes, was untypical and was followed by more restricted and characteristic urban 'close-ups' in his nevertheless splendid Facsimiles of Sketches Made in Flanders and Germany (fifty plates, 1833), executed in tinted (two-toned) lithograph. This ambitious book was published independently by subscription and from it Prout made some £2000 over three years. Facsimiles of Sketches Made in France, Switzerland and Italy (twenty-six tinted lithographs) was published by Hodson and Graves in 1839 in the usual way. "Among Prout's most impressive early landscapes of panoramic coastal and cottage scenes were the Picturesque Delineations in the Counties of Devon and Cornwall, published by Palser in 1812. The breadth and freedom of these etchings was matched only by the Illustrations of the Rhine. Both are a far cry from the sm.
