About This Item

London,: Edward Orme,, 1806.. In-4 gr. (mm. 350 x 240), legatura in p. pelle coeva (restaurata anche per abras.) con eleganti cornici impresse a secco e oro ai piatti, decoraz. e tit. oro al dorso, tagli dorati, pp. (6),74, illustrato da 32 magnifiche tavole f.t., incise in rame da Godby e finemente colorate d'epoca, sui disegni originali di Lerberghi. Ciascuna tavola è accompagnata da testo descrittivo in lingua francese e inglese. Manca, a p. 12, solo la tavola con la musica della tarantella (qui in fotocopia). I pregevoli soggetti rappresentati riguardano scene popolari in costume di varie regioni d'Italia ma appartengono soprattutto alla cultura popolare di Roma, Napoli e del Piemonte. Rara "edizione originale", celebrata dalle principali bibliografie. Cfr. Choix de Olschki,VIII,10995: “Superbes gravures coloriées.. On y remarque 4 planches qui ont trait à la musique: Dance of Lazzaroni children, Dance of the Tarantella, the Street Singers, a Piedmontese Dance. Ouvrage rare” - Colas,2970 - Brunet,II,1639 (sotto il nome di Godley): “Ouvrage assez bien exécuté, tant dans les gravures que dans le texte”. Solo lievi fiorit. alle pagine di testo, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.
