Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First edition of one of the most modern and amusing dance of death works since Holbein's. The hand-colored illustrations are by Thomas Rowlandson (1742-1823) and the poetry is by William Combe (1742-1823). Highly satirical, the series depicts 74 scenes in hand-colored aquatint of modern-day (19th century) British characters and settings, ranging widely among all social classes and, significantly, stereotypes within those classes. Death is often depicted in a humorous posture but bleakly gleeful in its task, which complements the unsparing and biting poetry very well. The series originally was issued in 24 monthly parts, with 3 plates per part, and was assembled in a two volume set upon its completion. Originally bound in plain grey boards (as here), many sets were finely rebound to reflect the artistic quality of their contents. 2 volumes. Hand-colored frontispiece in first volume along with an extra illustrated colored title page: vii, [5] 295; frontispiece, [6], 299 pages. Complete. In all, there are 74 fine hand-colored aquatint plates (38 in first volume including title vignette; 36 in second volume). Tall 8vo, bound in grey boards with renewed endpapers printed title glued to spine, slight offsetting to plates, as usual, and slight aquatint bleeding to a few text leaves facing plate, also as usual. Discreet pencil marks/lines to a few leaves in margins, first text leaf to volume two with small paper defect in lower corner and plate slightly loose but holding, the remnants of a flower impression between two text leaves in volume 2 (see photo). Otherwise, a very nice, bright copy in a sound, stable binding.…

[2], 276; [4], 277; [2], 279 pp. A very good set, with only minor rubbing at the spine ends. The plates are clean and quite vividly colored. FIRST OF THE EDITION, VERY SCARCE AS A COMPLETE SET. Rowlandson's illustrations are of course the star of this set. Combe has described how every month "an etching or drawing was sent to me, and I composed a certain proportion of pages in verse, in which, of course, the subject of the design was included; the rest depended on what would be the subject of the second, and in this manner the artist continued designing, and I continued writing, til a volume of nearly ten thousand words was produced." The success of this none-too-promising enterprise surprised authors and publisher alike, and was mainly due to Rowlandson's designs, which combined British breadth of humor with French lightness of touch. Dr. Syntax hats, coats, and wigs became fashionable, and the success of the first volume led to the two sequels here included. Clean sets in bindings have become very difficult to obtain.…
