Oblong 4to. (9 1/8 x 13 inches). 16 unnumbered engraved plates, including four in three states, one in outline with two hand-coloured, and two in two states, hand-coloured and uncoloured (10 hand-coloured in total). Contemporary ownership inscription to front pastedown, Henrietta Louisa Shiffner: July, 1811. Contemporary half roan over marbled boards, with printed title label to upper board A Regency flower-painting manual from Ackermann's Repository of Arts, preserving the staged method by which students learned to draw, shade, and colour flowers from engraved models. Published during Rudolph Ackermann's most productive period as a publisher of colour-plate books and artistic instruction, Six Progressive Lessons for Flower Painting belongs to the practical drawing-book culture of early nineteenth-century London. Its purpose is explicit: to guide the learner through the drawing and colouring of flowers upon botanical principles, joining ornamental accomplishment with close observation of plant form. Several designs are presented in more than one state, moving from outline or uncoloured impressions to hand-coloured examples. This progressive format allowed the student to compare stages of execution and to understand how form, shading, and colour were built up. The presence of ten hand-coloured plates gives the book the character of both an instructional manual and a pattern book, with the finished examples serving as models for practice. Ackermann was especially well placed to publish such a work. His Repository of Arts at the Strand combined printselling, publishing, drawing instruction, and artists' materials, and his name was closely associated with the refinement of British colour-plate publishing in the Regency period. Manuals of this kind also reflect the period's broader culture of polite education, in which flower painting occupied a respected place among accomplishments taught to young women, while also drawing on the visual discipline of botanical illustration. Provenance: The ownership inscription, dated July 1811, records Henrietta Louisa Shiffner, likely the daughter of George Shiffner of Coombe Place, Sussex, later Sir George Shiffner, 1st Baronet, and Mary Bridger. Born in 1795, she would have been about sixteen when she inscribed the book, placing this copy directly within the educational context for which such drawing manuals were produced. The inscription gives the volume a contemporary female provenance, closely aligned with the subject and use of the book. Not in Abbey, Life. …

Zustand: Good. Large quarto. 28.3 x 34.8cm. Contemporary gilt panelled calf; Original spine rebacked on new goatskin support. 47 hand-coloured aquatint plates, lacking one plate (Eton Scholar). Whatman 1812 or 1813 watermarks, and plates in the earlier states, by Havell, Stadler, Bluck, and others, after Westall, Mackenzie, Pugin, and others, 'Charter House, from the Play Ground' with overlaid title label, intermittent offsetting and spotting. armorial bookplate of F. Manley Sims and "Manley Sims Eton Collection" ink stamp to title page,:Francis Manley Sims (F.R.C.S.) was a 19th-century physician and surgeon based in London's West End. A dedicated book collector, he is best known to historians for assembling the notable "Manley Sims Collection" of rare books and Etoniana, which he donated to his alma mater, Eton College.Born on June 19th, 1841, at Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, the son of the Rev Frederick Sims, Rector of West Bergholt, Essex, and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. He spent his early life in Suffolk, and was educated at Colchester Grammar School. Shortly before he was 16 he was apprenticed to the then well-known practitioner, Thomas Young, of Sackville Street, W, and soon entered as a student at St George's Hospital. Rising very early - at five o'clock every morning - he studied medicine and modern languages before beginning the work of the day with his principal, and was thus able to carry off all the prizes at his hospital, where he was appointed House Surgeon, and afterwards Demonstrator of Physiology. He started practice in Down Street, Mayfair, and in 1870 joined partnership with William Fuller, of 111 Piccadilly, whose niece he married in 1875. In 1884, on the virtual retirement of William Fuller, he was joined in partnership by H Roxburgh Fuller, of Curzon Street, who remained with him to the end.Manley Sims became a most fashionable physician, with probably the largest West-End practice, and his life was one of tireless labour. As of old he rose very early, and was often on his rounds in his brougham before breakfast. He was seldom in bed after 5.30 am, whatever the duties of the previous night had been, and during the whole of this enormously long working day his powers of close attention, accurate insight, and sympathy remained unabated. It is to his credit that he was very helpful and generous to poor patients, and possessing, as he did, the ear of a wealthy and influential clientele, he could often contrive a scheme of assistance in cases of sickness and misery that was practical besides being well meant. To do so was the greatest possible source of pleasure to him. He was a firm and generous friend, an interesting companion, full of reminiscences and experiences, and well read.Abbey, Scenery, no. 440. …

This is a splendid work, with the preferred pre-publication watermarks, exhibiting a depth and richness of colouring. The Microcosm offers an incomparable panorama of Regency London both high and low, from sedate drawing rooms to the brawling and boozing street life of the metropolis, captured in matchless hand-coloured aquatint by the inspired pairing of Pugin and Rowlandson. Most of the plates are in their first or second state, with plate 12 and 39 in the rare first state. With an autograph letter by Augustus Welby Pugin (1812-1852), pioneer of the Gothic Revival architecture movement, to, probably, Thomas Talbot Bury (1809-1877), his long time friend and collaborator, dated 1839. The letter describes a drawing Pugin made of Macclesfield Church (St Michael and All Angels), including directions to Bury for his engraving of the image, and is adorned with small sketches of the altar candles and statues. It was Augustus Welby's father, Augustus Charles, who produced the architectural drawings of this work and was the reason Augustus Welby and Bury were so intimate, having apprenticed his son and Bury together. 'Ackermann's The Microcosm of London. is a book of major importance. The architectural drawings were by Augustus Charles Pugin, a French refugee who came to London in about 1798, "driven from his country either by the horrors of the French Revolution or by private reasons connected with a duel" [.] His lasting fame rests on his consummate ability as an architectural draughtsman. By a stroke of genius Ackermann engaged Thomas Rowlandson to add human figures to the drawings that Pugin made for The Microcosm, so that the stately, accurate and dignified qualities of that artist are enlivened by the vitality and charm of Regency life as depicted by one of the most vigorous draughtsmen of all time. To turn the leaves of The Microcosm is to take a walk though London at a singularly fortunate moment, observing, as we never can in real life, the scenes of many celebrated incidents in English literature and history: the India House of Charles Lamb, the King's Bench Prison of Dickens, the Foundling Hospital of Captain Coram and Hogarth, the Guildhall bombed by the Luftwaffe, the Newgate of Harrison Ainsworth, the Carlton House of the Prince Regent and so forth.' (Thomas, Great Books and Book Collectors, 1975, p. 155) First edition, early issue, with ALS loosely tipped to first blank; 3 vols, large 4to (34 x 28 cm); letter from Augustus Welby Pugin to T. Bury dated 1839, restored and laid on linen, wood-engraved titles, engraved dedications, 104 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Bluck, Stadler and others after Pugin and Rowlandson, watermarks 1806-1808, bookplate to pastedown; twentieth-century half crushed morocco by Zaehnsdorf, gilt ruled cloth boards, spine lettered in gilt in six gilt compartments, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, a fine set.

8vo. (9 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches). 3 series in 40 volumes. 1,491 plates, including engravings, lithographs, aquatints and woodcuts, the large majority contemporary hand-coloured, and 65 woodcuts containing 2 or more mounted fabric or paper swatches. Later red half morocco, gilt edges. Provenance: Gother Mann (1747-1830), army officer and military engineer First edition of Ackermann's influential, authoritative publication on taste and fashion: an extraordinarily ambitious project providing a contemporary pictorial record of social life in early nineteenth-century Europe, and one of Britain's earliest publications to use lithography Issued in parts, each volume is devoted to series that include ladie's fashion, new developments in furniture designs or architecture, views of London emporiums and English country houses, foreign views of cities and countries, and, in the early issues, allegorical woodcuts with actual samples of British-made textiles and papers used in fashion and decoration. As a result of having been preserved in book form, these samples remain as fresh and unfaded as when they were first produced. The first series (until 1815) is an extraordinary document of the Napoleonic wars and French cultural influence on fashion and style in Regency England. The Repository also depicts for the first time in a magazine for the general public technological advances such as gas lamps, steamboats, and an early version of a bicycle. The illustrations provided Ackermann with much material which he republished in various subsequent works. John Buonarotti Papworth's Select views of London (1816), Rural residences (1818), and Picturesque tour from Geneva to Milan (1820), for example, all appeared for the first time in the Repository.
