Item description from seller

A limited edition being one of two hundred copies of Oppe"s extensively illustrated study of Rowlandson, illustrated with ninety-six plates, retaining the publisher"s original cloth chemise. In the publisher's original paper vellum elephant folio, housed in the publisher"s original folding cloth portfolio case. A limited edition, being number forty-two of two hundred copies. Illustrated with ninety-six plates, including sixteen mounted colour plates with captioned tissue guards and eighty monochrome plates. Collated, complete. A substantial illustrated monograph examining Thomas Rowlandson"s work as a draughtsman, watercolourist and caricaturist. Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) was a British draughtsman, watercolourist, printmaker and caricaturist, particularly celebrated for his lively and frequently satirical depictions of Georgian society and influential figures including Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire, and Napoleon Bonaparte. The editor, Adolph Paul Oppe (1878-1957) was a British art historian, collector and museum official whose scholarship helped establish the serious study of British drawing. A generously produced survey, reflecting the remarkable breadth of Rowlandson"s artistic achievement. In the publisher's original paper vellum elephant folio. Externally, generally smart. Slight soiling to perimeters. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities. One or two light marks to boards. Two small areas of damp staining to lower perimeter of front board. The folding cloth portfolio case, worn. Slight rubbing and bumping to the extremities, resulting in slight loss to cloth. Scuffs, scratches and pale surface markings to the front panel, with damp staining to lower perimeter. Upper tie lacking; lower tie defective. Folds splitting slightly, particularly at the lower corners; fragile but holding. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with one or two very light spots and handling marks. Very Good.…
