Frontispiece engraving. Dedication to Lord Viscount Townshend. "The editor has to lament that the first pages of our Author's work, are amongst those missing, but as the Author himself, in his Preface, seems to have arranged his string of instructions, the Editor thinks himself justified in placing those first that relate to the choice of a horse." (Editor). Followed by a Fragment of the Author's Preface and the editor's address to the reader. Henry William Bunbury was considered to be a 'gentleman caricaturist.' His work "consisted of rather more genteel subjects, in order not to offend notable individuals with whom he was acquainted. This book, written under the pseudonym Geoffrey Gambado, 'Riding Master, Master of the Horse, and Grand Equerry to the Dodge of Venice', pokes fun at the antics of inept horsemen. It was particularly popular with the reading public and was reissued several times during Bunbury's lifetime." (Royal Collection Trust). Illustrated with twelve copper plate engraving, including a portrait of the author. The engravings were executed by W. Dickinson after H. W. Bunbury. Binding with light wear along edges and some scuffing of raised bands. Leaves with pages V and VI, and editor's note loose but present; some light chipping along edges of these leaves. Some light foxing in block, versos and edges of plates, in some cases lightly infringing on edges of motifs. Binding in overall good+, interior in good- to very good condition. Plates very good.

BUNBURY, William Henry (1750 1811), as "Geoffrey Gambado". An Academy for Grown Horsemen, containing the Completest Instructions for Walking, Trotting, Cantering, Galloping, Stumbling, and Tumbling. Illustrated with copper plates, and adorned with a portait of the author. By Geoffrey Gambado, Esq; riding master, master of the horse, and Grand Equerry to the Doge of Venice. THE SECOND EDITION. - Annals of Horsemanship: containing accounts of Accidental Experiments, and Experimental Accidents, both successful and unsuccessful: communicated by various correspondents to Geoffrey Gambado, Esq. Together with most instructive remarks thereon, and answers thereto, by that accomplished genius. London: for Hooper and Wigstead, 1796 2 volumes in one. 4to., (13 2/8 x 9 4/8 inches). Text only. Fine full scarlet morocco, gilt, by Root & Son. Provenance: with the engraved bookplate of Gustavia A. Senff on the front paste-down. Second editions of two of Bunbury's books to describe the hilarious antics of inept and reckless horsemen, preceded by Hints to Bad Horsemen, 1781. Bunbury "spent much of his time in London, where he and his wife enjoyed a convivial social life with friends drawn from the aristocracy and artistic and literary circles, including Garrick, Dr Johnson, and Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was godfather to his second son. As a result he was often in financial difficulties. His son later recorded: My father had embarrassed his circumstances by the generosity of his nature and a carelessness about money which did not befit a younger brother (Memoir, 7). To augment his income he took the post of comptroller of army accounts, c.1775 1784, with an income of £750 per annum; he also served in the West Suffolk militia, rising to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Drawings caricaturing military life were shown at the Royal Academy in 1779, with subsequent engravings by Thomas Watson and William Dickinson, such as Recruits (1780; BM 4766), while a series illustrating military costumes was published by Thomas Macklin in 1791. "A growing fashion for fanciful and sentimental subjects, initiated by Wheatley and Morland, encouraged Bunbury to produce works in similar vein, sometimes in round or oval formats. He also extended his range with illustrations from the works of popular authors, including Sterne and Goldsmith. Sketches for The Arabian Nights were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1785, and issued in sepia and coloured stipple etchings. Of wider appeal were his depictions of the hilarious antics of inept and reckless horsemen. They include Hints to Bad Horsemen (1781; BM 5914 5917), and An Academy for Grown Horsemen (1787), which he wrote under the pseudonym Geoffrey Gambado esq (BM 7231 7242). "The design which proved to be the most successful in Bunbury's lifetime was another humorous work, A Long Minuet as Danced at Bath, engraved by Dickinson in 1787 (BM 7229). In the unusual format of a strip, 210 cm long (84 inches), it mocks the attitudes of both graceful and ungainly couples dancing. Its renown led to the speedy production of a similar composition, The Propagation of a Lie (engraved by Dickinson; BM 7230), in which eighteen men, each headed with an exclamatory comment, react in individual fashion to the spreading of a malicious rumour. These innovative story-telling designs were imitated by other caricaturists, such as G. M. Woodward, and were precursors of the modern comic strip" (Christopher Reeve for DNB). Huth p. 52.

Folio, pp. xvii, [1 (blank)], 81, [1 (blank)], with etched frontispiece and 16 etched plates; light spotting to plates and a little offsetting, a few old repairs to some plates; a very good copy in contemporary English half calf with marbled sides, sympathetically rebacked in calf, recent gilt black morocco lettering-piece to spine; rubbed with a few slight chips and bumps at extremities; armorial bookplate of Francis Freeling to upper pastedown.Third edition of Bunbury's satirical work with humorous etchings. First published in 1791 and often presented as a continuation of Bunbury's Academy for grown Horsemen (published in 1784 also under the name Gambado), the Annals of Horsemanship is a parody of Arthur Young's Annals of Agriculture, a periodical published in forty-five volumes from 1784 to 1815, though by the early nineteenth century increasingly struggling to produce sufficient material. Presented as 'Master of the Horse to the Doge of Venice', the pseudonymous Gambado receives and responds to letters with bizarre proposals for riding and horsemanship, illustrated by Bunbury's famous etchings. Hailed by Horace Walpole as 'the second Hogarth' (Anecdotes of Painting in England IV, p. viii), Henry William Bunbury (1750 1811) avoided politics and controversy to produce satires and caricatures drawn largely from his tours of Europe, though several works show a keen interest in equestrianism, perhaps under the influence of his elder brother Sir Charles Bunbury, co-founder of the Oaks and the Derby and long-serving Steward of the Jockey Club. From the library of Sir Francis Freeling (1764 1836), a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and founding member of the Roxburghe Club. Cf. Mellon 89 (for a separate edition of the plates); Evans, Catalogue of the curious, choice, and valuable Library of the late Sir Francis Freeling (1836), lot 1294 (this copy, with Academy for grown Horsemen ).

Quarto. (12 1/2 x 9 inches). 12 stipple-engraved plates by W. Dickinson after Bunbury, all printed in bistre. Expertly bound to style in half 18th-century russia over 18th-century marbled paper-covered boards, the flat spine divided into six compartments by gilt fillets and roll tools, black morocco lettering-piece in the second compartment, the others with repeat decoration in gilt. First edition of this popular work. Henry William Bunbury was one of the most beloved English humorists of his day. By turning his back on controversial political caricature, Bunbury made a name for himself as a subtle and ingenious social satirist. In this vein he mocked many of the fashions and follies of the age depicting scenes of university life and, in the present work, the antics of horsemen. Lowndes calls this work a "lively and entertaining jeu d'esprit of the pencil and pen." Lowndes II, p.860 (attributing the text to Bunbury).

First edition of Bunbury's second book to depict the hilarious antics of inept and reckless horsemen, the first being Hints to Bad Horsemen, 1781. Bunbury "spent much of his time in London, where he and his wife enjoyed a convivial social life with friends drawn from the aristocracy and artistic and literary circles, including Garrick, Dr Johnson, and Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was godfather to his second son. As a result he was often in financial difficulties. His son later recorded: My father had embarrassed his circumstances by the generosity of his nature and a carelessness about money which did not befit a younger brother (Memoir, 7). To augment his income he took the post of comptroller of army accounts, c.1775 1784, with an income of £750 per annum; he also served in the West Suffolk militia, rising to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Drawings caricaturing military life were shown at the Royal Academy in 1779, with subsequent engravings by Thomas Watson and William Dickinson, such as Recruits (1780; BM 4766), while a series illustrating military costumes was published by Thomas Macklin in 1791. "A growing fashion for fanciful and sentimental subjects, initiated by Wheatley and Morland, encouraged Bunbury to produce works in similar vein, sometimes in round or oval formats. He also extended his range with illustrations from the works of popular authors, including Sterne and Goldsmith. Sketches for The Arabian Nights were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1785, and issued in sepia and coloured stipple etchings. Of wider appeal were his depictions of the hilarious antics of inept and reckless horsemen. They include Hints to Bad Horsemen (1781; BM 5914 5917), and An Academy for Grown Horsemen (1787), which he wrote under the pseudonym Geoffrey Gambado esq (BM 7231 7242). "The design which proved to be the most successful in Bunbury's lifetime was another humorous work, A Long Minuet as Danced at Bath, engraved by Dickinson in 1787 (BM 7229). In the unusual format of a strip, 210 cm long (84 inches), it mocks the attitudes of both graceful and ungainly couples dancing. Its renown led to the speedy production of a similar composition, The Propagation of a Lie (engraved by Dickinson; BM 7230), in which eighteen men, each headed with an exclamatory comment, react in individual fashion to the spreading of a malicious rumour. These innovative story-telling designs were imitated by other caricaturists, such as G. M. Woodward, and were precursors of the modern comic strip" (Christopher Reeve for DNB). Huth p. 52.
