Textvolume: Volume I and II of the text bound in two beautiful half-leather-volumes with gilt lettering on spine, bound in the style of the 18th century. Excellent, new condition. One of only 300 printed. [On request: There is also a version available of Two Volumes bound in one (475 instead of 575). [Inanna Rare Books - Reprint & Facsimile - Series]. The here reprinted publication is famous and rare due to it being the final product of one of the most daring acts of piracy by an english publisher, Philip Luckombe, who first published this text under the title "A Tour through Ireland" in the year 1780. What makes the 1788-edition valuable are the addition of several excellent Engravings, Maps and Plans of Cities in Munster (see here below a full list of the large and medium size reproductions of Maps, Plans and Engravings which come in a separate Folder, accompanying the two text-volumes). The publication we see here warranted a Reproduction for it is very hard to find with all Illustrations present and especially the Engravings of Kinsale, Youghal, Dungarvan and Waterford are possibly the finest and some of the earliest Illustrations of these irish Towns in the 18th century and should be present in every serious Irish History Collection. The Maps of County Cork, County Kerry and County Waterford show not only the clarity of 18th century map-making but als give wonderful historical detail of the families who ruled and lived on the land by the placing of these families' Coats of Arms on the Maps. "The Compleat Irish Traveller" is the pinnacle of pirated Travel-Writing in Ireland and proof of its enduring success for the english audience of the 18th century. American historian Susan M. Kroeg writes in her essay "Philip Luckombe's 'A Tour through Ireland' (1780) and the Problem of Plagiarism" about the publication we have reprinted: "According to Joep Leerssen, the reliability of a travel narrative, the extent to which the author actually experienced the events of which he writes, is ultimately 'insignificant'; what matters is the degree to which the work met its audience's expectations. Luckombe found and exploited the productive intersection of his readers' expectations of Ireland and their expectations of travel writing and succeeded in plagiarising some of the most popular and prominent Irish travel narratives of the late eighteenth century. In a final irony, the entire text of Luckombe's Tour ['A Tour through Ireland'] was pirated and republished anonymously in 1788 as "The Compleat Irish Traveller"- which, in a sense, it was." Philip Luckombe took most of the Illustrations, but not all, from the following publications by Charles Smith: 1. Charles Smith's "Antient and Present State of the County of Waterford" 2. Charles Smith's "Antient and Present State of the County and City of Cork" What Luckombe did not do was altering the source of the engravings and who produced them. Complete List of Reproductions of Plates included in the bespoke made Folder of the Luxury Reprint of this work: 1. Allegorical Frontispiece: "The Proprietor of the Irish Traveller presenting a Copy of that Work into the hand of Futurity to be preserved from the devastation of Time" 2.
