Item description from seller

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.
