hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Proverbs Exemplified, and Illustrated by Pictures from Real Life, Rev. John Trusler â" 1st Edition Publication: London, The Literary Press, 1790 Formatting: 12mo, pp. [viii], 196. Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in handsome contemporary mottled calf, with the spine featuring neat gilt ruling and direct gilt titling. The binding remains tight and structurally sound, with the text block firmly secured. The boards present minor rubbing, edge-wear, and softening to the extremities commensurate with age, while the spine is exceptionally clean, suggesting a highly sympathetic, expert historic reback. Internally, the pages are largely crisp and bright, displaying only occasional, mild age-toning and marginal spotting that does not detract from the clarity of the woodcut illustrations. The endpapers remain intact, bearing a clean armorial bookplate to the front pastedown. Catalogue Note: A highly desirable First Edition of Rev. John Truslerâs moralizing work, famously illustrated by the celebrated wood-engraver John Bewick. The volume is complete with fifty striking woodcuts, comprising a fine frontispiece and forty-nine half-page vignettes that vividly capture scenes of eighteenth-century daily life. Furthermore, this copy retains the concluding advertisement leaf, which is frequently absent in comparable market examples. The volume carries charming provenance, featuring the distinguished armorial bookplate of Henry Elliot Graham, bearing the family mottoÂNec Timeo Nec Sperno affixed to the front pastedown. An early, contemporary ink ownership signature, appearing to read "N. Lyon," is neatly penned at the upper margin of the title page, adding a touch of historical character without intruding upon the text. Complete, early editions of this work retaining their contemporary bindings and the advertisement leaf have become notably scarce on the open market. Conceived as a sophisticated "Succession-Book to Aesop's Fables," Proverbs Exemplified marries the didactic philosophy of Rev. John Trusler with the masterful, dynamic wood-engravings of John Bewick. Through a series of familiar adages grounded in vivid scenarios of eighteenth-century existence, the work aims to instruct youth in morality and "a knowledge of the world". Bewickâs enchanting illustrations not only illuminate Truslerâs text but stand as a testament to the golden age of English wood-engraving, offering a captivating window into the social fabric of the era.
