Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIFTY HAND COLOURED AQUATINT PLATES, EACH WITH AN ACCOMPANYING LEAF OF TEXT First edition, 4to, in full black morocco, spine gilt titled, lower and fore edges untrimmed, title leaf, contents leaf, & 50 hand coloured engraved plates, each with a guard leaf and a descriptive leaf, the text printed on rectos only, edges of binding rubbed, some foxing and soiling, edges uncut, upper hinge weak. (243*175 mm). (Colas 2357. Hiler p16. Lipperheide 987). The occasional watermarks range from an unclear date prior to 1810 up to 1821 (the latter on guard leaves only). The subject of these delicately coloured engravings range from the King to a chimney sweep, from a Knight of the Garter to a Billingsgate fish woman; so not only the costumes but the many strata of English society are depicted. William Alexander was an artist and drawing master who became the first keeper of the prints and drawings at the British Museum. These plates are generally not as picturesque as those of Alexander's similarly titles and almost simultaneous costume books on China, Russia, and Turkey; but the ceremonial and military outfits can be rather spectacular.

Unusual later binding of hand coloured decorated paper on boards with calf labels to spine. The wrap around image shows a man receiving a tribute/license from a group of gentlemen, whilst behind him a group of peasants kneel in awe - dated 1789? by H. Humphrey. Slight wear to spine, otherwise in very good condition. Plates dated Jan 1813, text leaves watermarked 1825, spine label states 1813, edges uncut. (242*177 mm).

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Special Edition. vi, [2], 60 hand-coloured engraved plates, each plate accompanied by a descriptive text, (approximately 60 pages of text), later crimson full morocco by Schifferson, lightly rubbed, title gilt on raised spine with red and green labels, scattered light spotting and one or two closed tears, mainly to text, printed for James Goodwin, by W. Lewis, second edition, circa 1814. A small-scale version of Alexander's The Costumes of Turkey (1802), engravings and descriptions including dervishes and dancers, musicians and porters, Arabs, Jews, Greeks, and Tartars etc. plus eunuchs, odalisks, other women, servants, a musician, officers of the Janissaries, soldiers, a naval admiral, the grand vizier and several tradesmen. First published in French as Costume de la Turquie and in English in 1802 as The Costumes of Turkey. Attributed to the French artist Octavien Dalvimart about whom little is known (the Preface). It seems the text is by another, sometimes attributed to William Alexander, as one of the descriptions includes a comment made by Octavien Dalvimart. The English artist William Alexander accompanied the Macartney Embassy to China in 1792 as draughtsman and in 1808 was appointed Assistant Keeper of antiquities in the British Museum.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Bon. William Alexander (illustratore). Edition originale. Paris, Chez Nepveu, 1815, in-8 oblong (20x13,5cm), 44pp. et 26 gravures (25), cartonnage d'attente rose de l'époque, avec titre manuscrit sur le plat (coiffes absentes). Déchirure marginale avec léger manque atteignant deux gravures, déchirure sans manque à une gravure. Second tome consacré aux paysages, bâtiments et autres, le premier volume comprenait les costumes et personnages. Illustré de 26 gravures, en couleurs d'époque, représentant des villes, villages, monuments et palais, comprenant une planche supplémentaire non comprise dans la liste, « Barques chinoises de l'Ambassade passant par une écluse sur le grand canal » En 1792, Alexander rejoignit l'ambassade britannique de Lord Macartney en Chine en tant que dessinateur. Bien que la mission diplomatique n'ait pas permis d'établir des relations commerciales durables avec l'empereur Qianlong, elle offrit à Alexander une documentation de première main exceptionnelle. À une époque où la chinoiserie fascinait l'Europe, ses aquarelles détaillées de paysages, d'architecture et de scènes de la vie quotidienne chinoises furent largement saluées. Nombre d'entre elles furent gravées pour les comptes rendus officiels de l'ambassade et pour des publications telles que « View of the Headlands, Islands, etc. » (1798) et « A Voyage to Cochin China » de John Barrow (1806). The illustrations in the two-volume China work are after the English painter, illustrator and engraver William Alexander, who travelled to China as draughtsman with Lord Macartney's Embassy to the Emperor in 1792-1794.
