Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

FIRST EDITION. Folding engraved map frontispiece (short closed tear, strengthening repairs to verso), lithograph title with vignette with strengthened fore-margin, 20 lithograph plates, plans and maps (19 folding, one or two with repaired closed tears and two with frayed fore-margins), one lithograph illustration on India paper, hand-coloured folding plate and two folding maps/plans, various printed note slips added throughout; uniformly a little toned, and browned at some of the untrimmed edges; pp. xx, [2], 169, [1]; 26 8vo; untrimmed and partially unopened in modern half navy morocco gilt; small white mark to upper cover. A smart example of Vice Admiral Sir Henry Mangles Denham's richly illustrated guide to sailing from Point Lynas (on the north-east corner of Anglesey) to Liverpool. The work is the result of Denham's appointment by the Admiralty to survey the coasts of Lancashire and Cumberland. It is not only full of navigational detail, but is beautifully produced, with fine views of sections of coastline, various lighthouses and other coastal infrastructure, and detailed maps. This was an area Denham (1800-87) knew well; in the early 1830s he had been appointed by the Admiralty, following a request from the Liverpool Dock Trustees, to survey the Mersey, the silting of which was hampering the success of trade. His proposal for dredging and other innovations made him a pivotal figure in Liverpool's development into a modern terminal port. He went on to conduct major surveys of Australasia and part of the Southwest Pacific, and served as Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Station. To the rear of the work, as called for, is Denham's 'Remarks and Sailing Directions for Approaching and Navigating the Sea-Reach of Wyre up to Port Fleetwood', with its own title page and individual pagination.…
