Hardcover. First Edition. Inscribed by the author, "Henry Compton with the kind regards of the author Andrew W Tuer. December 1881". Vol. 1 (of 2 though other some copies seem to be divided into 4). This copy consists of a frontispiece with tissue, 10pp including title, 211pp; 4pp of index; and 2pp of ads for the Leadenhalle Presse. The first half is an analysis of the work and production method of Bartolozzi. The second half is an analysis of values achieved in sales of his prints and a considerable catalogue of these. Bookplate of Donald and Norah Van den Bergh. 4 b&w illustrations, and 1 colour plate illustrating the art of stipple engraving. Vellum, somewhat browned in places, with gilt lettering. Frontispiece partly detached. Page edges are uncut and slightly browned where they lie proud of one another. Pasted in note from the publishers offering Bartolozzi principal plates. A rather handsome and educational attempt to capitalise on sales of his work, presumably. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # A.TUERABA236

Field & Tuer, London, 1881, two volumes, 1st edition, spines of both volumes damaged otherwise decent copies, many illustrations, Provenance: bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst, who inherited and improved a successful group of retail pharmacies, John Hayhurst & Son, based in Nelson, Lancashire, and became an avid collector of naval history and of eighteenth-century literature in contemporary bindings; "Mr. R. J. Hayhurst believes that most pharmacists neglect one of their most valuable assets the tradition and dignity of the pharmacy. His historical sense, indeed, is no narrow one, for his feeling for the past reveals itself also in his hobbies. A collector of books, in a delightful room at his home, white-painted bookshelves stacked high on all the available wall space show to advantage the hand-tooled leather bindings of a collection that has been acquired slowly and with discrimination over the years" (The Chemist and Druggist, 7 September, 1957).

London: Field & Tuer; New York: Scribner & Welford, 1885. 8vo, viii, 478pp. plus one leaf of advertisements. White faux vellum and ribbon-threaded boards. Bottom ribbons lost. Moderate foxing. Two plates and two fold-out reproductions of advertisements. Decorative title page. Number 113 of 500 copies of this limited edition, signed by the author. Pages untrimmed. A very good copy. § Second, limited edition of 500 copies (this is number 113), corrected and revised with additional matter. Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) was an Italian engraver, whose most productive period was spent in London. For nearly forty years he lived in London, and produced an enormous number of engravings. He was elected a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768, and in 1802 became the founding President of the short-lived Society of Engravers. Bartolozzi achieved a technological breakthrough by inventing a new stipple technique of colored engraving, in which he successfully reproduced the famous colored portrait drawings of Holbein from the Royal collection in 1793.
