ALBANIS BEAUMONT, [Jean François] (c. 1755-1812).

Travels through the Rhaetian Alps in the year MDCCLXXXVI from Italy to Germany, through Tyrol. London: for the author by C. Clarke, sold by T. and J. Egerton, 1792.

A fine first edition copy with all plates in full contemporary hand-colour. An early work on the picturesque beauty of the Alps, and probably the first publication by an Englishman about the Tyrol region. Two of the plates are after Hans Heinrich Meyer (1760-1832), a friend and advisor of famous German poet and writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who taught at the Weimar School of Art. All plates are in full contemporary hand-colour, five of them in avant la lettre. Abbey Travel 49; Bobins V, 1674; Pine-Coffin 7861; Prideaux p.327.



Folio (536 x 360mm). Engraved map, 10 etched plates by C. Apostool after Albanis de Beaumont and Hans Heinrich Meyer in full contemporary hand-colour (occasional light spotting and marginal staining). Contemporary straight-grained green morocco, gilt red morocco borders to sides, spine gilt with black morocco labels, gilt turn-ins and edges (some skillful restoration to spine ends and joints, light marks to sides). Provenance: evidence of a removed bookplate on front pastedown.
