About This Item
London: Rudolph Ackermann, 1846. First edition. Hardcover. Orig. red publisher's cloth decorated and lettered in gilt. Very good. Alken, Henry. 326 pages. 25.5 x 17 cm. First issue, six hand-colored plates by Alken, all with tissue guards, additional pictorial vignette title, and forty-three illustrations on wood engraved by Cook. GORDON RAY p.36, said of Alken, "He worked in color aquatint in a style akin to that of Rowlandson and the early George Cruikshank, passing from the broader caricature in his early books to a more sober recording of the passing scene in his later." TOOLEY calls the red cloth a later binding, but notes copies in red do conform to the first issue text. Bookplates front and back cover pastedowns, minor spotting and toning to margins, backstrip extremities rubbed.
