Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Composed around 29 BC, The Georgics is Virgil's celebrated four-book poem on agriculture, rural life, and mankind's relationship with the natural world. Written during the reign of Augustus, it combines practical advice on farming, viticulture, animal husbandry and b…eekeeping with reflections on labour, the changing seasons, and the moral virtues of country life. Regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical Latin literature, the work has inspired poets, artists and translators for centuries. This edition presents John Dryden's acclaimed seventeenth-century verse translation, first published in his monumental 1697 folio of Virgil's works, accompanied by finely reproduced engravings from that original edition. The Georgics of Virgil; Translated into English Verse by Mr. John Dryden. Designed and printed by Richard Ellis for Cheshire House, Publishers, New York, 1931 Numbered Limited edition 272/1200. First edition thus. "The present edition of The Georgics has been reprinted from the First folio Edition of Dryden's Collected Works of Virgil, published by Jacob Tonson, in London: 1697. The twenty engravings are reproduced from the originals in the first folio." A very good copy of this splendid edition of Virgil's works. A folio sized volume bound with tan leather spine with blind stamped titles, and with design to resemble stitching. Boards covered with a decorative brown paper. Binding is sound. Some wear and rubbing to head of spine, and some more significant losses near the tail. Overall the text is lovely and clean and in fine condition. Printed on an ivory stock with rough cut edges to vertical and lower edges. Provenance: First pastedown features a small colourful bookplate with 2 swans drinking from a wine glass above a shield with 3 sickles. This is believed to be the bookplate of the controversial Civil War General and politician Colonel Daniel Edgar Sickles (1819 - 1914). He was a bibliophile, and his extensive collection of books and related materials was auctioned by Parke-Bernet in 1847 and 1950, and items from that collection are known to have carried this bookplate. Clearly from the dates, the book must have been owned by a descendant of his. The plates are beautifully produced. Text in English. xiii + 182pp + (1) limitation page. Weight approximately 1.36kg unpacked. Dimensions: Approximately 362mm high x 140mm wide x 20mm deep.

Quarto, handsomely bound in antique mottled calf, the spine with raised bands gilt ruled, red morocco lettering label gilt, the covers with double gilt fillet rules at the borders. lxiv, 355, [1 Errata] pp. A fine copy, the binding tight… and very well preserved with little evidence of age, an old unobtrusive blindstamp signifying past ownership to the title, the text clean and crisp. A very well preserved copy. FIRST EDITION. Although the pagination runs continuously throughout the volume, the 'Short account of the most eminent painters' has its own title-page ( which reads: 'A Short Account Of the most Eminent Painters Both Ancient and Modern, Continu'd down to the Present Times According to the Order of their Succession. London, Printed for W. Rogers at the Sun against St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet. 1695.'). Du Fresnoy's Latin poem was originally published shortly after his death in 1668. It was followed by translations into French (1668), English (prose) (1695), German (1699), Italian (1713) and Dutch (1733). Du Fresnoy opens his poem by declaring that 'As poetry shall be like a painting, so should painting be like poetry'. Beauty should be interpreted in different ways - as may be seen in such famous ancient statues as the Antinous, the Hercules, the Venus, the dying Gladiator. Besides Dryden's translation of Du Fresnoy's poem, the present volume includes a translation of the Remarks with which Roger de Piles accompanied his French version of the poem (1668). Dryden's famous preface Parallel of Poetry and Painting stands on its own as one of the author's most respected works. The first appearance of Richard Graham's chronology of eminent artists, both ancient and modern is presented here with its own title-page. While President of the Royal Academy, Sir Joshua Reynolds published extensive notes on Du Fresnoy's Art of Painting (in William Mason's new translation) (1783). Royal Academy Contents: [T.-pl., t.-p.] - Preface Of The Translator, With a Parallel, Of Poetry and Painting - The Preface Of The French Author - A Table of the Precepts Contain'd in this Treatise - [Text, in Latin and English] - Observations On The Art of Painting Of Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy - The Judgment of Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy, On the Works of the Principal and Best Painters of the two last Ages - [Divisional title-page, 'A Short Account Of the most Eminent Painters Both Ancient and Modern .
