About This Item

London: Bond Street, Corner of Brook-Street.: Edward Orme, 1810. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. BOBBIN Timothy. The Passions of Manchester in 25 hand coloured illustrations First edition, 1810, Quarto, [34] pp, engraved portrait frontispiece, hand coloured engraved dedication leaf, & twenty five hand coloured engraved plates, watermarked 1805 and 1806, modern quarter burgundy calf over marbled boards, spine ruled in gilt and decoratively tooled in blind in compartments with two black morocco gilt lettering labels, occasional minor soiling and offsetting, a few small stains, a few minor marginal paper repairs to text leaves. (signatures: A-E1). (262*199 mm). (Poletti, p.194). The engraved designs of this once famous Lancashire artist have been many years out of print, and now almost unknown to the world at large, the publisher, from a love of the early productions of art in his native county, has undertaken this new work, relying on the patronage of the admirers of originality and genius (Address). In 1772-3 Collier published a folio volume of twenty six engravings, with poetical description, entitled 'The Human Passions delineated, in above 120 figures, droll, satirical, and humorous, @ some of which had been sold as separate plates. Other editions in folio were published in 1810, 1819, 1858, and 1860, and in quarto in 1811 and 1846 (DNB) A very good copy of this extremely scarce caricature book which contains several plates humorously dealing with pulling teeth.
