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 (19t…h 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.

3 volumes. First Edition Thus, called the First "Miniature" Edition, though the size is actually much larger. The first volume illustrated with hand-coloured frontispiece and 29 fine hand-colored engravings by Thomas Rowlandson, the second volume illustrated with 24 hand-coloured plates, the third volume illustrated with hand-co…loured engraved frontispiece and 24 additional hand-coloured plates, two volumes with pictorial tail-pieces at the end of the text, one in black and white and one hand-coloured, all printed by Ackermann. 12mo, in sixes, bound in later full polished cranberry calf to style, the spines with raised bands, the compartments gilt stippled at the borders, central ornamental tooling gilt at the centers, three compartments lettered and numbered in gilt, the covers gilt rolled at the borders, marbled endleaves, all edges gilt. [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.

First Rowlandson edition. Royal octavo, two-volumes, pp., viii, 295, [5] index; [2], 296, [8] index. Complete hand-coloured aquatint frontispiece and title-page plus, 72 further hand-coloured aquatints divided between both volumes, designed and etched by Rowlandson. Uniformly bound in contemporary diced Russia, titled and orname…nted in gilt to spines, double fillets in gilt to boards, gilt rolls to edges; all edges marbled; marbled end-papers; red silk place-markers to both volumes. Armorial bookplate of Benjamin Chapman of Killua Castle to front paste-down of both volumes. Some rubbing to extremities, joints slightly worn, top edges a little dusty. Contents clean and fresh. A very good set, handsomely bound. The celebrated first Rowlandson edition of one of Combe's comical poems written for the illustrator, for which he is still best known. Unlike previous 'Dance of Death' works, Rowlandson drew both from the macabre and the familiar, drawing on images and characters from Regency life. The book is firmly in the firmament of the Rowlandson canon 'The illustrations nearly excel all his other work' (Hardie 172). 'Indispensable to any Rowlandson collection, one of the essential pivots of any colour plate library, being one of the main works of Rowlandson' (Tooley 334). Sir Benjamin James Chapman, 4th Baronet (1810 - 1888) was MP and High-Sheriff for Westmeath in Ireland and the great uncle of T. E. Lawrence. An attractive copy of one of Rowlandson's most famous works. Hardie, English Coloured Books, pp., 171-2; Tooley, Coloured Plates, 411; Grolier, Rowlandson, 32.

First editions. The Tours follow the amusing misadventures of the titular character, a foolish clergyman and schoolmaster, and satirize contemporary travel writing. Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) created the vivid, caricature-style illustrations of Dr Syntax's various mishaps, and William Coombe (1742-1823) composed the narrative… poems that accompany them. Dr Syntax first appeared in Ackermann's Poetical Magazine in 1809. The character is based on the artist, cleric and travel writer William Gilpin (1724-1804). In his 1768 Essay on Prints, Gilpin defined the picturesque as "a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty, which is agreeable in a picture" (p. 2). His writing encouraged amateur artists to travel in search of picturesque vistas to reproduce. Coombe mocks such as activities: "His pencil too perfom'd its duty / In sketching many a landscape beauty / Scarce rose a cot within the bound / That his dominion did surround / Whose whiten'd walls did not impart / Some bounty on the Doctor's art". During his early career as an artist, Rowlandson travelled extensively through Britain and Continental Europe, producing a mix of caricatures and the style landscape painting mocked in the Tours. At the beginning of the 19th century, he moved into book and magazine illustration and was primarily employed by Rudolph Ackermann. His work demonstrates his vast range. He was "as much a master of the lyrical watercolour of rolling countryside as of the incisive caricature". The latter, seen here, is "marked by brilliant draughtsmanship and acute observation of stance, movement, and character" (ODNB). Houfe, p. 285. Two works, (257 x 166 mm), large octavo in half-sheets. 24 coloured aquatint plates in each vol., tissue guards in Third Tour, woodcut vignette to p. [51] of Second Tour, aquatint title page and vignette tailpiece in Third Tour. Contemporary red straight-grain half morocco, spines flat, lettered in gilt with gilt and blind tooling, marbled sides and endpapers, all edges untrimmed. Spots of wear to board edges and corners, covers a little rubbed, occasional offsetting from plates, well-margined: in very good condition.
