‎Rowlandson the Caricaturist: A Selection from His Works with Anecdotal Descriptions of His Famous Caricatures and a Sketch of His Life, Times, and Contemporaries ‎

‎London Chatto & Windus 1880 Un très bel exemplaire de cette sélection en deux volumes de l'uvre de Rowlandson. Demi-cuir rouge sur des planches de bougran rouge. Le cuir est brillant et abondamment décoré de dorures. Les planches sont un peu frottées et portent des marques modérées. Un ensemble attrayant. Un ex-libris armorié figure à l'intérieur de chaque volume. Le volume 2 présente une fissure à la charnière avant avec une perte de la surface du papier de fin, mais il tient encore bien. Les deux volumes présentent des rousseurs légères à modérées. Une "esquisse biographique" de Rowlandson est suivie d'une étude chronologique détaillée de ses caricatures. Un résumé chronologique des sujets, des caricatures sociales et politiques, gravées par ou d'après Thomas Rowlandson, est également utile. 290 x 230 mm‎
