[Scenes on the Road. London: T. M'Lean, 1834-35.]
Wide-margined example of this rare coaching series. The delightful suite of plates includes a charming and whimsical Christmas scene depicting a coach buried in the snow, the caption explaining ‘we shall never get thro this unless they come and dig us out’ (pl. 6). Abbey Life 406; Bobins II, 784; Siltzer, p.192 (listing the publisher, perhaps incorrectly, as Watson); Tooley 345.
Oblong folio (283 x 391mm). 18 aquatint plates, coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, 6 plates engraved by R.G. Reeve, all plates marked C.B. Newhouse and bear M'Lean’s imprint (finger-soiling mostly confined to margins, short split at foot of gutter affecting a number of plates but without loss). Original green cloth, with gilt title to upper cover and decoration in blind (extremities lightly rubbed).
