4to., (14 x 11 2/8 inches). List of Subscribers. 40 fine hand-coloured aquatint plates. Contemporary half red morocco, gilt (extremities a bit scuffed). Later issue, first published between 1819. This was Orme's last great colour-plate book, after a successful career that began in 1794 when his brother Daniel published one of his engravings. By 1799 Orme had been appointed printseller in ordinary to George III and in 1820 editor of prints in ordinary to George IV. "In May 1800 he had a shop in Conduit Street, London (at the corner of George Street), and in 1801 exhibited a portrait at the Royal Academy. In the same year he established himself at 59 New Bond Street, London, at the corner of Brook Street, and published "Rudiments of Landscape", a volume of uncoloured etchings after his brother William's drawings. He advertised that he stocked 'Books of Instruction in every Branch of Drawing, and Drawing Materials'. Then began the publication of a series of coloured aquatint books, ending in 1819 with "Historic, Military, and Naval Anecdotes". Some separate engravings of London markets were issued in 1822, but in 1824 the shop was closed, and he concentrated on his new career" (John Maggs for DNB) as a property developer.

Half Morocco. Cloth boards. Zustand: Near Fine. Second Issue. Large paper edition, seldom encountered. Folio, 46 by 33 cm. 4to. [4], 94, [4] pp. 40 hand-colored plates. The last two plates in Tooley's collation appear in this copy after the address along with four text pages, which are not numbered, as Tooley points out, and perhaps this is the reason for the misplacement. However, most importantly, all the plates and text are present. Tooley 353. The Second Issue is in all respects identical to the first issue of 1818 other than a few trivial details, of which the unnumbered pages is one. The issuance in 1819 belies when the plates themselves were engraved and colored. Watermarks on plates as early as 1815. As noted on the title, "Published to his Majesty, and to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent", and the illustrious list of subscribers, this was obviously intended as a spectacular commemoration of the then recent final, glorious triumph over Napoleon after a decade and a half struggle against him, and the result was a true tour-de-force, for few colored aquatint plates of the era match these for sheer drama and vividness! Spine with lovely decoration, including three vignette gilt figurative devices. Condition: LIght wear to the morocco, with trivial rubbing. Small abrasion (lifting of marbling) of FFEP. Small, non-decorative, ownership bookplate on FEP, in corner. Scattered, very light, foxing, never disconcerting, and cumulatively, a trivial cavil. Plates are all bright. Overall, a beautiful, and exciting, copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007094
