Contemporary full brown calf, spines richly gilt, with raised bands and two green morocco labels; with marbled endpapers. -- 2 leaves, VII, 295, (4) pp.; 2 leaves, 299, (4) pp. With etched frontispieces and further 72 handcolored aquatint etchings. -- First edition of one of the most celebrated collaborations between the artist Thomas Rowlandson and the writer William Combe. -- In 1814, the renowned Georgian satirist Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) began developing a uniquely British interpretation of the "Dance of Death" motif. Employing his characteristic humor and social observation, Rowlandson produced a series of caricatural aquatints depicting contemporary life interrupted by the presence of Death. These scenes were complemented by the metrical illustrations of William Combe (1742-1823), the prolific writer best known for his collaboration with Rowlandson on the "Doctor Syntax" series. This work represents a quintessential example of Regency-era satire, reinterpreting the medieval "Danse Macabre" through the lens of early 19th-century British life. Unlike earlier versions of the theme, Rowlandson's Death is an active, often mischievous participant in the follies of modern society--found in the kitchen of the glutton, the study of the astronomer, and the ballroom of the elite. The plates are renowned for their vibrant hand-coloring. -- 1 etching with small deposited marginal tear, bindings slightly rubbed, otherwise in very good condition. // Wir, das Antiquariat Steffen Völkel, kaufen und verkaufen alte Bücher, Handschriften, Zeichnungen, Autographen, Grafiken und Fotografien.

Recent green half-cloth morocco; five raised bands gilt with ornamentation and double fillets, gilt lettered title on two and volume number on four, upper edge gilt. , Tooley states the volumes are ?invariably stained with offsets, and even the text is frequently spotted? Regarding the scope of the envisioned work Abbey quoted from an advertisement which appeared on the front wrapper of the Gentleman?s Magazine for Jan 1792: ?Each Volume will contain at least Forty Plates, engraved in Aquatint, by Mr.Stadler &c from accurate drawings made by Mr. Farington of the most beautiful and interesting Parts of the River it records; with about Three Hundred of pages of Letterpress; and a Map, describing the Course of the River. ? ?The Materials for the Whole of the Work are almost entirely completed. The History of the Thames and the Forth, which will be the first offered to the Publick, are in such a State of Preparation, that the Former will be ready for Delivery very early in the Year 1793, and the latter will shortly follow. ? The Histories of the Severn and the Clyde are also in great Forwardness, and will be ready for Publication, as it is hoped, in the Spring of the Year 1794?? Abbey then states ?The Project was, however, abandoned at the completion of the History of the Thames, ?? , Size : Folio (410 x 299mm), Vol. 1 is illustrated with a frontispiece entitled ?Tamesis? sculpted by J. Parker after M.
