A very rare, extra-illustrated, large-paper copy of this descriptive catalogue of the work of renowned engraver William Sharp; number five of only eleven copies printed on large paper. Sharp was a remarkably prolific and skillful British engraver who produced the most distributed prints of paintings by Benjamin West and John Trumbull and countless illustrations after the baroque masters, though he is perhaps best known as the hand behind the famous engravings for the official printing of Cook's Third Voyage. This extra-illustrated edition includes letters in Sharp's hand regarding the payment or delivery of his works, as well as official letters in French and German announcing his honorary membership in L'Academie Imperiale et Royale des Beaux Arts and the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna, with partially-printed diplomas issued to him, along with manuscript English translations of each (one of which is in Sharp's hand). In addition, seventy-eight of Sharp's engravings have been inserted and labeled near their appropriate locations in the catalogue. These notably include his portraits of Richard Brothers and Joanna Southcott, contemporary British prophets whom Sharp followed devoutly (indeed, his portrait of Brothers is subtitled "Fully believing this to be the man whom GOD has appointed; I engrave his likeness"). A manuscript character sketch of Sharp also bound in refers to the eccentric artist as "an eminent engraver, and honest, misled enthusiast," and relays the tale of how, when put on trial for treason thanks to his "bold and undisguised" support for the French Revolution, he was promptly dismissed with a laugh after presenting the entire Privy Council with the prospectus for his "Siege of Gibraltar," and requesting their subscriptions. This biography and bibliography of Sharp was written by William Spohn Baker, vice president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and except for the eleven large-paper copies was published as a small octavo or duodecimo with only a single portrait. The large paper extra-illustrated edition was assembled by Charles Henry Hart (depicted in the frontispiece), an eminent historian and fine art specialist as well as a member of the Historical Society, which likely helped him supply the manuscript documents bound into this copy. Rare Book Hub records only one other copy of this large-paper edition at auction, sold at Anderson Galleries in 1922. OCLC places only two of the eleven in institutions, at the Harvard Library of Fine Arts and Duke University. A rare, important, and extensively illustrated account of the life and work of one of the most important engravers of his era. OCLC 70964755. Half title. Large quarto. Original morocco, boards decorated in blind and gilt, spine richly gilt with raised bands and leather labels, gilt turn-ins. Boards rubbed and a bit discolored, corners and spine ends mended, some wear along joints. Front free endpaper, preliminary blank, half title, and first portrait all neatly reattached at gutter. Occasional light foxing. Very good.…
