[Delights of Fishing. London: Thomas M'Lean, 1823-1825, plates watermarked 1827.]
Charming suite of prints depicting the unforgiving pursuit of fishing. The suite of plates' slapstick humour is given a gentlemanly air through the use of quotations from Virgil. This is probably the second issue, the first issue bearing the imprint of C. Turner. Late plate watermarked J. Whatman 1827. Bobins II, 360; Siltzer, p.122.
Oblong quarto (253 x 325mm). 6 aquatint plates by Charles Turner after Frankland, coloured by a contemporary hand. Red half morocco gilt over red cloth boards by Sauty of Donnelly’s, black morocco label lettered in gilt to upper board, spine with raised bands and repeated fleurons, contained in a red cloth slipcase. Provenance: Joel Spitz (bookplate and stamp on final leaf; bought from Hart, New York, 133; sold in these rooms, 27 May 2015, lot 167 to;) —the collection of Arnold Johnson.
