[CINA] - DAVIS, John Francis - La China illustrata e dipinta. Venice: Fratelli Gattei, 1842 [-45?].

First Italian edition (?) with plates in contemporary handcolouring of this description of China by Davis, who came to China in the entourage of Lord Amherst, and lived for a long time in Canton then becoming president of the East India Company. The titles are dated 1842, while the editorial bindings are dated 1845.

2 volumes, 8vo (233 x 155mm). Half-titles, 38 engraved lithographic plates with contemporary handcolouring depicting views, scenes of life, customs and Chinese work activities (some foxing to text leaves and light browning, paper flaw at p. 291 of vol. 1 which causes the loss of a few letters). Editorial green boards printed in black and dated 1845 (some wear). (2)
