About This Item

London: Printed for J. Roberts, in Warwick-Lane; J. Stagg, in Westminster Hall; and D. Browne, without Temple-Bar, 1727. Quarter-bound Leather. Near Fine+. Third Edition (with price 2s. 6d below imprint in square brackets). Full of fascinating information relating to the etiquette and procedure of royal ceremonies. Small 4to (210 x 155mm): 80pp, with large folding copper-engraved frontispiece, "Procession of Kings and Queens with over 150 robed figures" (measuring a full 440 mm x 350 mm), a second folding engraving, "The Manner of the Champions, performing the Ceremony of ye Challenge," and 12 woodcuts in the text depicting various ceremonial objects, including crowns, maces, scepters, and coronation rings. Bound in early (possibly contemporary) quarter sheep with marbled boards, red morocco lettering piece gilt, all edges marbled. Bookplate of Buddle Atkinson to front paste-down. A sturdy, unsophisticated copy, frontispiece slightly spotted along folds, sporadic light soiling and browning, binding rubbed along spine and corners, but an excellent example of a scarce book. ESTC Citation No. T113877. Lowndes 526. Bindley pt. vi, 1039. Not in Halkett & Laing. Buddle Atkinson's bookplate appears in Hugo's Catalogue of Thomas Bewick's works, but it is, in fact, engraved on steel, not wood, and came from the workshop of Mark Lambert, one of Bewick's pupils. The plate was designed and engraved by George F. Robinson, who joined Lambert's workshop in 1841 and who, in the course of 50 years, became chief engraver and director of all art works carried out by the firm. The plate was produced when Atkinson (b.1841) was a young child, perhaps for putting in books that had been owned by his father, John Buddle, so it likely dates from 1845-1850. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
