Item description from seller

Quarto 11 x 8 1/2 inches, later full calf, slightly worn. Title, list of plates and 56 FINE ENGRAVED PLATES. Minor spotting but a good copy. Samuel Howitt (1756?1822) was an English painter, illustrator and etcher of animals, hunting, horse-racing and landscape scenes. Howitt - has preferred representing most of the animals in fables, as allowing more scope for delineating the expression, the character and the passions. The 56 fable plates are complete.
