About this Item

London, Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1843. Large octavo, 364 pages. Early half calf and marbled papered boards a little scuffed, with minor wear to the corners; mild signs of age and use (including light tidemarks to the leading margin of some leaves); a very good copy. This would appear to be all twelve unnumbered and undated issues of the cumulative edition of Volume 1 of the magazine. The editor's 'Farewell Address' (see pages 359-363) indicates there will be no more: 'as regards the success of my project, it is a failure'. Edward Villiers Rippingille (c.1790-1859) 'was an English oil painter and watercolourist who was a member of the informal group of artists which has come to be known as the Bristol School. In that group he was a particularly close associate of both Edward Bird and Francis Danby' (Tate website).
