Edges worn, front hinge open; paper a bit toned but overall internally near fine.Henry Vizetelly, Printer and engraver, Gough Square, Fleet Street"Plates engraved by Louis Marvy; after Sir Augustus Wall Callcott, J.M.W. Turner, J. Holland, Francis Danby, Thomas Creswick, William Collins, Richard Redgrave, Frederick Richard Lee, George Cattermole, William James Mu?ller, James Duffield Harding, Peter Nasmyth, Richard Wilson, Edward William Cooke, John Constable, Peter De Wint, David Cox, Thomas Gainsborough, David Roberts, and Clarkson Stanfield. Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32). An interesting and quite scarce Thackeray item, very rarely found colored.Abbey, Life in England, no 207 : "The majority of the copies issued were uncoloured.".

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The Church Army, still active today, was founded in 1882 as a Church of England equivalent to the Methodists' Salvation Army. From the papers of the recipient Wilfred Seymour De Winton of Haverfordwest. 3pp, 12mo. On a bifolium of grey paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Signed 'W Carlile / Hon. Chief Sec.' To the left of the signature, in the bottom-left of the recto of the second leaf, is a purple ink stamp of the following: 'WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR POOR STRUGGLING LABOUR HOME BROTHERS'. He begins what is undoubtedly one of many such letters he had to write: 'Dear Mr De Winton / The Vagrant, Criminal, and Inebriate Classes, a seething mass of our fellow men, look to us as the hand of the Church held out to give them a last chance.' While many could 'get a fresh start in life after 2 or 3 months staying in one of our Labour Homes the lack of funds compels us day by day to refuse numbers of genuine helpable persons'. He stresses that the homes 'are not Shelters and are limited to 25 Inmates, men women and youths all received irrespective of creed'. He states that 51 1/2 per cent of those who passed through the institutions in the year 1895 'obtained a fresh start', and that the organisation requires '£100,000 annually'. 'The financial burdens come heavily on us who nearly all work without any pay.' He asks if De Winton can help them 'regain by labour & religion many rapidly sinking into the vortex of crime and misery.'.
