Complete two volume first edition set of the Jervas translation. Bindings need professional repair for Volume I's front board is detached with slender splitting to rear joint although with rear board still firm; likewise Volume II's joints have splitting with some pliability to front board but with its rear board still firm - sold as is. Hardcovers: H 28cm x L 22cm. Uniformly bound in contemporary (mid to late 1700s) full tree leather; boards rubbed with some old surface losses at bottom margins; shelf-wear to boards' gilt tooled edges; boards' gilt inner dentelles remain reasonably bright; spines retain their gilt tooled compartments and original dark red title labels and black volume# labels. No bookbinder marks present but likely the set is the product of a higher-end London bindery. Both volumes share the same Tonson and Dodsley 1742 London imprint and their title pages credit translator Charles Jarvis which is an incorrect spelling of his surname as it should be "Jervas" (the misspelling also occurs on the spine titles which specify "Jarvis's Don Quixote"). Each volume retains its original sewn-in dark green silk ribbon page markers although the usual expected fraying at their bottom ends. Marbled endpapers; both volumes have mid-18th century style armorial bookplate of Andrew Lindegren on their respective front pastedowns (which may or may not be Swedish immigrant iron ore importer Andrew Lindegren, ?-1783, of Portsmouth, England). Some light toning and scattered foxing to leaves. Text blocks are firm. ***** VOLUME I.

2 volumes in one folio 21 x 11 1/2 inches- bound in period boards with reverse calf spine - worn. Bound without the half title and the frontispiece (as often), otherwise complete. Collates- title with vignette, (xii) pages including the list of subscribers and plates numbered 1-73. Title to volume two with vignette, (vi) pages and plates numbered 1-63. Thus 136 numbered plates on 97 leaves (24 double-page, 5 folding) by P. Fourdrinier, H. Hulsbergh, J. Cole and A. Herisset, most drawn by Henry Flitcroft, the designs credited to Jones, Kent and Lord Burlington. Plate 55 in volume two with an ink stain and the last three leaves in the same volume with an old marginal worm track. However, but for the issues mentioned, and the tired worn binding- internally an unusually bright and crisp copy. On good clean laid paper. Inigo Jones (1573-1652) was the first significant architect in England and Wales in the early modern period, and the first to employ Vitruvian rules of proportion and symmetry in his buildings. FIRST EDITION. The subscribers included Colen Campbell, James Gibbs, Christopher Wren, and Nicholas Hawksmoor. An old armorial bookplate. Bibliographies- Archer 166.1; Fowler 162; Harris 385. "The Designs of Inigo Jones is an impressive and important work. Yet oddly enough more influential than any single building depicted in it were its plates of doors, windows, niches, etc. These plates seem to have had a formative effect upon Gibbs's Book of Architecture (1728) and from that point on became a standard feature of eighteenth-century pattern books."

1st Edition. 2 volumes in one. Folio (21 4/8 x 14 4/8 inches). Engraved allegorical frontispiece after W. Kent, vignette title-pages with engraved portrait of Jones, 136 numbered plates printed from 102 copper-plates on 97 leaves (24 double-page, 5 folding) by P. Fourdrinier, H. Hulsbergh, J. Cole and A. Herisset, most drawn by Henry Flitcroft, the designs credited to Jones, Kent and Lord Burlington, engraved head- and tailpieces after Kent (without the half-title, intermittent light browning, one or two pale marginal stains). Contemporary half vellum, morocco lettering piece on the spine (extremities a bit scuffed, vellum lightly soiled). Provenance: with the 18th-century discreet ink library stamp of K.F. Stevens on the front paste-down; the bookplate of James Lees-Milne (1908-1997), architectural historian and conservationist on the front paste-down; and the bookplate of Harold Douthit also on the front paste-down. First edition. "The Designs of Inigo Jones is an impressive and important book. Yet oddly enough more influential than any single building depicted in it were its plates of doors, windows, niches, etc. These plates seem to have had a formative effect upon Gibbs's Book of Architecture (1728) and from that point on became a standard feature of eighteenth-century pattern books" (Harris p.251). The publication of 'The Designs' was initiated and funded by Lord Burlington, who had purchased a group of drawings by Jones and his pupil John Webb and 5 drawings by Palladio from Jones' collection in 1720. These were copied by Henry Flitcroft and, together with drawings by Kent and Burlington, engraved by Hulsbergh and others. Intent on promoting public works, in particular the building of a royal palace, Kent and Burlington devoted more than two-thirds of the plates in volume one to designs for a palace at Whitehall, even though this was the work of Inigo Jones's pupil John Webb. Volume one also included a plan, elevation and section of Chiswick House by Burlington, with chimneypieces by Kent. Volume two included the Queen's House at Greenwich, Burlington's dormitory of Westminster school, and a remarkable design for a palace on the Thames at Richmond. Jones's designs for the portico of Old St. Paul's follow at the end of volume two, together with seven plates of Palladio's S. Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. RIBA notes that "most copies. want the half-title." Fowler 162 (lacking frontispiece); Harris 385; Millard British 34 (lacking half-title); RIBA 1624 (lacking half-title and frontispiece).…
