Buch Erstausgabe
First edition; folio (545 x 390 mm); 61 engraved plates on 54 sheets, many double-page or folding by Bartolozzi, Zucchi and others, subscription list, occasional light spotting; contemporary calf gilt, rebacked, corners repaired, boards rubbed, a very good example; iv, [viii], 33, [i] pp. travel2023 In July 1757, in company with the French architect C.L. Clerisseau and two other draughtsmen, Adam visited Spalatro (Split) in order to explore and measure the ruins of the great Palace of Diocletian. He seems to have been travelling with the intention of producing a book which would establish his reputation 'with a great puff' and apparently chose Spalatro because of its residential character, so different from the Greek and Roman architectural monuments being illustrated by his contemporaries such as Stuart and Revett, Wood, and Le Roy. Also, Adam had more natural artistic flair than his contemporaries, so that he included more views and flourishes than are to be found in those earlier works which seem a little dry in comparison. The text to this work was written by Adam's cousin William Robertson and Bartolozzi engraved the majority of the magnificent plates which accompany it. Other engravers included Zucchi, Santini and Cunego. The influence of this work could be seen in Adam's later work and in the work of other Neo-classicists.

Newman of Dublin (his ticket on front pastedown), raised bands, spine panels with central patera ornament, two darker green morocco labels, reinforced hinges, edges untrimmed. WITH 61 SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS (14 plans and elevations, 47 views) ON 54 PLATES (eight double-page, six folding) by Bartolozzi and others. Front flyleaf with ink signature of Francis D. Bedford dated October 1886. Cicognara 3567; Fowler 2. â Spine sunned to a light olive shade, one corner bumped, one plate with a little browning along the fold, occasional mild marginal foxing or trivial smudges, but A FINE COPY--fresh, bright, and clean internally, with deep impressions of the type, rich impressions of the plates, and generous margins, in a binding with few signs of wear. This is an extremely appealing copy of one of the great architectural books of the 18th century, described by Cicognara as a "magnificent and grandiose work." Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-92) was a product of the Scottish Enlightenment, and moved in intellectual circles that included historian William Robertson (who wrote the introduction here), David Hume, and Adam Smith. His interest in architectural drawing was stimulated by books in his father's extensive library, which DNB tells us contained "a working collection of illustrated architectural books in English, French, and Italian, and a series of manuals on architectural draughtsmanship." This curiosity developed into a passion during his 1755-57 tour of Italy, which "was in every way a period of intense professional training during which the skills learned in Scotland were tested and given an international gloss by the Roman circle in which he now moved." (DNB) At the center of this circle was French architect, antiquarian, and artist Charles-Louis Clérisseau (1721-1820), the leading authority on Roman antiquities and architecture, who introduced Adams to, among others, the great Piranesi. With Clérisseau as guide and tutor, he explored and sketched various sites before arriving at the un-surveyed fortress palace built by the former emperor Diocletian at Spalatro (the modern-day Croatian city of Split). Adam undertook a survey of the building and drew the architectural plans and elevations for this work, while Clérisseau sketched views of the ruins. Adam planned this book as a way of promoting his career as an architect, and worked with Clérisseau to have engravings made for it. According to Thom, "while the traditional plans, elevations and sections--what Robert Adam called the 'Geometricals'--were generally supplied by English engravers like Rooker, Patton and Walker, the all-important picturesque views and perspectives, which Adam thought were essential to convey the emotional impact of the remains of Diocletian's Palace, were engraved in Italy, mostly by Bartolozzi, Paolo Santini, and Zucchi." Adams also wrote the architectural commentary. The publication was a success, praised by the "Critical Review" in October 1864 as possessing "a taste and execution that has never been equalled in [England]." As DNB observes, "during these two Roman years Adam succeeded in transforming himself from a provincial and rather green Scottish architect into a cosmopolitan figure, ready indeed to put into effect 'the Antique, the Noble & Stupendous.'" Now based in London, he embarked on a distinguished career, specializing in country houses and townhomes that reflected the deep influence classical architecture and his Italian sojourn had on his work. Our copy was once owned by another artist, Francis Donkin Bedford (1864-1954), who exhibited landscapes at the Royal Academy and illustrated books during the Golden Age of children's book illustration in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Erstausgabe
Folio (21 x 15 inches). Engraved frontispiece, numbered I, 60 engraved plates, numbered II - LXI, printed on 53 leaves by F. Bartolozzi, E. Rooker, F. Patton, P. Santini, A. Walker, D. Cunego, J. Bassire and Antonio Zucchi (a bit dusty, one or two spots). Disbound. First edition. Recently succeeding to his father's (William Adam) architectural practice, along with his brothers John and James, Robert set off on a Grand Tour to increase his understanding of the field and demonstrate his sensibility. He travelled to Dalmatia in July 1757 with his manservant Donald, his teacher Charles-Louis Clérisseau (largely responsible for the drawings), and two draftsmen. After a stay of a bit more than five weeks, he began his return trip to London, where he persuaded his cousin William Robertson to write the dedication and the preface for the book, while Clérisseau arranged for the engraving of his drawings in Venice. The resulting publication provides an elaborate description of a rare private residence of the Imperial period. Of this publication Edward Gibbon remarked (The Decline and Fall, chap. 12): "There is reason to suspect that the elegance of his designs and engravings has somewhat flattered the objects which it was their purpose to represent."

Buch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Emperor Diocletian's palace is a historic marvel - this book and its sketches, published by architect Robert Adam in the 1760s, aided the rediscovery of this Ancient Roman treasure.Illustrative of late-Roman architecture, Diocletian's palace was comprised of a military garrison; two temples; flower and vegetable gardens; servant, guest, dining and living quarters; large storage cellars and various outbuildings. A sprawling structure, the palace was the center of a small port town - its coastal location in Croatia was secluded but at close enough proximity to Rome for the Emperor to receive visitors or arrange his own travel. More than seventy drawings reconstruct in amazing detail the palace. Robert Adam was an accomplished architect of King George III of England; his sketches strive to show both the ruined state of the buildings, together with reconstructions of how these appeared in ancient times. On several occasions, Adam expresses his awe at the skills and ingenuity of the Emperor's architects, their designs and materials are demonstrated to be exquisite yet durable. Today, Diocletian's palace is the central attraction of the town of Split in Croatia. The entire complex totals around 30,000 square meters, and is a popular destination for visitors.
