Interiors and exteriors in Venice. [London: Thomas M'Lean], 1843.

Extremely rare deluxe issue, on card, fully coloured and heightened with gum arabic, illustrating the splendor and grandeur of Venice and the city's history. Price originally trained as an architect and was articled to Auguste Pugin before becoming a watercolour painter, photographer and lithographer. He was exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1828 to 1832 and at the London Photographic Society from 1855 to 1860.



This collection is lithographed by Joseph Nash, an English watercolourist, painter and lithographer specialising in historical buildings and best known for his monumental Mansions of England in the Olden Time (1839-49). Abbey has a long note about the lithographic process deployed here, suggesting that Nash used Hullmandel’s ‘stump’ technique to produce tinted lithographs that, ‘nearly equals the pencil [i.e. water-colour brush] in colour – indeed it may be called painting on stone.’ However, a close examination of the plates does show a certain degree of hand-finishing and heightening. Abbey, Travel 171; Bobins V, 1701.



Folio (565 x 460mm). Chromolithographic title-page and 25 plates, all coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, printed on card and mounted within ink manuscript ruled border, captioned in ink manuscript, all loose as issued, 8pp. on 2 bifolia of letterpress text, pp.3-4 repeated (without the dedication leaf, plates and mounts lightly spotted, letterpress with old paper repairs at margins and one fore-edge frayed). Original portfolio of morocco-backed red watered-silk covered boards, with red morocco gilt lettering-piece to upper cover, yellow glazed endpapers and flaps (rebacked, extremities rubbed and soiled, upper board without the gilt winged lion device called for by Abbey); contained in a modern morocco-backed box. Provenance: Charles-Édouard Mewes (1889-1969, son of famous architect and collector Charles-Frédéric Mewes; bookplate).
