Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. First edition, a good copy in contemporary half calf won and scuffed. With 26 of the 28 plates only, missing 'The Bridge of St. Maurice' and 'Interior of the Grand Gallery', but in our view retaining all of the best plates. The hand coloured plates are mostly sound, a couple with a short closed tear to the margin.

Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Imperial 8vo. 11 by 8 inches, 29 by 20 cm. [8], 136, [2], 8 pp. Plus 36 hand-colored aquatint plates, and tinted frontis map. Includes useful publisher's eight page catalog. One of the most beautiful of plate books, capturing some dramatic and treacherous scenery. Views include Sion, Lake Geneva, Brieg, Bridge at Ganther, Algaby, Ponte Alto, waterfall at Pissevache, bridge at St. Maurice, Lake Maggiore, Arona, Sesto, Milan, Lake Como, etc. Tooley 446, which notes that the work was issued later with title still dated 1820, but that is manifestly not the case here since plates are dated 1819 and 1820 and the publisher's quarter leather binding is consistent with the first issue as thus. (Some plates were issued earlier in Ackermann's Repository.) The publication itself should be seen as a product of the building appreciation of Alpine and Swiss scenery, once scorned, that began in the 1700s, and in particular British fascination with it. Custom clamshell case. Some offsetting from plates, including from frontis to title. Soiling of frontis in margins especially. Clamshell box has a few loose seams along joints and other minor wear. Plates have watermarks from 1819 and 1820. Quarter Morocco over Cloth Boards, with Custom Cloth Clamshell Case.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. First edition in book form. London: Published by R. Ackermann, 1820. Quarto (10 7/8" x 7 5/8", 276mm x 196mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved map (H. Frost) and 36 hand-colored aquatint plates (dated 1820; watermarks 1819-1820). Eight-page publisher's catalogue (251mm x 147mm) bound in at rear. Bound in the publisher's blue drab boards, backed with red roan (rebacked). On the spine, five panels separated by double gilt fillets. Gilt round fleuron in the panels. Title gilt to the second panel. Rebacked. Boards bumped, with some wear at the edges. Closed tears to the upper and lower edges of the rear board. Mild, even tanning to the text-block. Some offsetting from the plates. Initial engraved map foxed. Engraved armorial bookplate of Godfrey Wright, A.M. (by W. West) on the front paste-down. Frederic(k) S(c)hoberl (1775-1853) was long associated with Ackermann's Repository of Arts, one of the foremost Regency periodicals (and in which, from 1818-1820, the Tour first appeared). There was little Schoberl did not do; he wrote and edited, translated and illustrated. In the present work (the first edition, Voyage Pittoresque, Paris: 1811, features the illustrations of the Lorys but not Schoberl's text) he contributes to the growing aesthetic category of the Picturesque, which stands in distinction to the Sublime. The Alps join these two categories. The Simplon Pass had become the dominant route through the Alps after Napoleon had a road constructed 1801-1805 to facilitate the movement of artillery. English tourists in particular would travel to Italy "via post," using stage-coaches. The journey took them through Sion and Brigg, Lake Maggiore (with its stunning Isola Bella), Lake Como and finally Milan. The literary import of the region in this period is unparalleled: it is on the banks of Lake Geneva (the start of the journey) that Lord Byron (whom Schoberl quotes, e.g., p. 21), Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley gathered in 1815; this summit (well, valley) brought forth Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The illustrators, Gabriel and Mathias Gabriel Lory (also known as Gabriel the Elder and Younger; how this became "J. and J." is unclear), were prominent Swiss landscape painters. Father and son traveled to Neuchâtel to produce their views of the newly-opened Simplon route. The dating of the plates by their imprints and watermarks is crucial, since, as Tooley notes, "the impressions of these later issues are considerably inferior to the originals." Godfrey Wright (ca. 1781-ca. 1862) was admitted as a pensioner to Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1804, M.A. 1807). He lived at Bilham House in Hooton Pagnell, South Yorkshire in his latter years, describing himself in the census as a "clergyman without cure of souls." Tooley 446.
