Description:
Nattali and Bond. London. No Date.,Circa 1850. THREE VOLUMES. Tall 8vo (10.2 x 6.6 inches). Text and plates taken from the Ninth edition. Complete set of this famous trilogy, with 80 fine hand-coloured, full page, aquatint plates, the colouring still strong and bright, by Thomas Rowlandson. Some minor spots of foxing to a few leaves in each volume but generally clean and bright copies in the scarce original publisher's brown cloth bindings, with gilt lettering and decoration on spines. Decorative blind stamped panels on boards. Original yellow coated endpapers. Previous owners bookplates to front paste downe endpapers. Some rubbing to top and tail of spines and fore-edges, and a couple of the hinges with neatly repaired splits (about 1.5 inches) but generally these are very good examples. Slight uniform fading to spines but overall a very attractive set of this classic work with Rowlandson's humourous plates. Uncommon in the publishers original decorative cloth bindings.:

Description:
1820 Voyages of HMS ALCESTE Asia Exploration China Korea Japan Shipwreck PIRATESJohn McLeod's book "Voyage of His Majesty's Ship Alceste, to China, Corea, and the Island of Lewchew, with an Account of Her Shipwreck" vividly recounts the perilous journey of the HMS Alceste, led by Captain Sir Murray Maxwell and tasked with escorting the British Ambassador to China in 1816. Authored by the ship's Scottish naval surgeon, John McLeod, the book recounts their voyage to several Asian destinations in China, Korea, and Japan and their encounters with varying cultures, as well as inaccuracies discovered in existing navigation charts of the period. The central drama of the book unfolds when the Alceste hits a hidden reef and is wrecked in the Gaspar Strait. Marooned on a nearby island, Maxwell and his crew endure the scarcity of food and persistent attacks from Malay pirates. Despite these challenges, there were no reported casualties, a testament to Maxwell's leadership. Their rescue and eventual return to… Read More

1914. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1914. Original olive-brown cloth. First American Edition, which consisted of 2000 copies and was published one day after Dent's London edition. Novelists covered by James include Robert Louis Stevenson, Emile Zola, Gustave Flaubert, Honore de Balzac and George Sand. This was one of several James titles that was unfortunately bound for Scribner's in this unattractive olive-brown cloth that is very prone to soil and fading; this, however, is a fine copy with very little fading. Supino 73.2.0; Edel & Laurence A73b. Provenance: the front paste-down bears the bookplate of Theodore Woodman Gore (1847-1923), which bookplate was designed by the renowned American artist Edwin Howland Blashfield.
