- Lot Description
BEWICK, THOMAS and JOHN Seven volumes, including bound pamphlets, by Bewick and others, various sizes. Comprises The Picture Book. [Cover title: Containing upwards of Six Hundred Engravings On Wood.] Stockton: Printed by Christopher and Jennett, [1799 per Hugo]. 19th-century calf, original printed wrappers bound in. Light binding wear, one-inch tear to D2; Emblems of Mortality; Representing, in Upwards of Fifty Cuts, Death Seizing all Ranks and Degrees of People. London: T. Hodgson, 1789. Period style tree calf. Light binding wear, a pretty copy overall; Four (of seven) volumes of the Bewick-illustrated Natural Histories, including A Natural History of Fishes. [...Foreign Quadrupeds]; [...Water Birds]; [...British Quadrupeds]. Alnwick: W. Davison, n.d. [circa 1815]. Each in publisher's printed wrappers, housed in a modern clamshell case. Clean copies; THOMSON, J. The Seasons ... Embellished by engravings on wood by Bewick. London, T. Bensley for J. Wallis, 1805. Modern red morocco. Worn. An attractive group of Bewick, including the excessively rare and graphically compelling Christopher and Jennett Picture Book, which, based on the evidence of the description in a 1951 Sotheran's invoice, may possibly be that copy described by Hugo in the supplement to The Bewick Collector. Rare Book Hub locates no copies of this ever at auction. FirstSearch locates only the Newberry copy, noting "With several hundred items in woodcuts, many of which [are] by Bewick. Apparently, this book has been made up by the printers, Christopher & Jennett, as a specimen book of printers' ornaments from the existing blocks of Bewick's and other woodcuts."No condition report?
