Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. A magnificent souvenir of a Romantic era joust, basically a re-enactment of the Medieval combat sport in keeping with the resurgent interest in the Middle Ages at the time. This tournament was sponsored by Lord Eglinton at his Scottish castle in 1839. That this massive book took four years to put together attests to its grandeur, as well as the ardor of Medievalism among the aristocratic elite. Elephantine Folio, 61 by 43 cm. Blank, title leaf, dedication leaf, six paginated pages, then 21 hand-colored plates, each with a tissue guard and a one or two page Description of the particular plate on a single leaf, until the last, or 21st numbered plate, which has a four page, or two leaf, Description, after which there are two unpaginated pages of "Concluding Remarks". The lettering of text on these pages is done mostly with blue type, with occasional red. The title and the plate leaves are of a card stock. The other leaves are of a more standard, but not light, paper weight, and the tissue guards are of a similar, minimally less, paper weight but a glossier stock. The plates capture, and probably improve upon, the spirit of the event, as they idealize the whole proceeding, with nary a misstep, all the costuming, just right, not a speck of dust or dirt to mar the beauty of the sport. However true these "reenactors' -- for that was what they were -- are faithful to the Medieval sport, our image of jousting tournaments is probably more influenced by the prettified imitation than the original, since books like this directly influenced Hollywood and the historic fiction genre more than the more esoteric surviving documents from the Middle Ages. The tournament reportedly drew an estimated 100,000 spectators, but it also was mocked and satirized in its day, especially by members of the Whig Party. Notwithstanding that, this pageant inspired others in its wake. In addition to the 21 numbered plates, the title page has a large hand-colored illustrated oval centerpiece (26 cm tall), surrounded by monotone decoration comprised of figures of men in armor and seraphs. All the descriptions begin with a decorated letter that is in itself an esquisite vignette. And not to be slighted, each of the color plates has, surrounding its primary richly colored illustration, a highly decorative frame that is populated with seraphs, human figures, foliate ornaments, escutcheons, weaponry, etc. etc. These frames, in contrast to the central illustration, are mostly black line drawings with a tinted background, but there are occasional bits of fuller color -- the coat-of-arms are generally rendered so -- and in a few of the frames, these full color pieces are quite numerous. Regarding the Dedication leaf, the dedication is to Archibald William Montgomerie, who was the Earl of Eglinton, as well as the holder of other titles, and was made by Edward Puckle. The gallery he headed at the time goes back to 1760 and remains to this day, now known simply as Colnaghi, with headquarters in Mayfair but branches in New York and other cities. Nixon (1802 - 1857) illustrated the novels of Sir Walter Scott, and not coincidentally, "Ivanhoe" apparently was the inspiration to stage this particular pageant. He is best known, though, as a designer of stained glass, and his work in this medium, done through a partnership of Ward and Nixon, can be seen most famously in Lincoln Cathedral. As to Eglinton himself, the tournament cost him dearly, as he depleted his coffers of almost everything to cover the massive losses incurred by the event. All edges gilt. Gilt lettering and decoration on cover bright. Two decorative bookplates mounted onto FEP. The book, besides being extra-large, is also extra-heavy -- 13 lbs. 8 ou. -- and thus expect a substantial amount of extra postage will be required to ship, especially internationally.
