D'OYLY, Sir Charles (1781–1845)

Costumes of India. [Behar:] Printed at the Lithographic Press, 1830.

Very rare – only three copies can be traced in institutional libraries: The British Library, Yale and University of Melbourne (this latter defective with 10 leaves only). According to RBH, only one copy has sold at auction (Bloomsbury, 20 July 2006, lot 226), and is not recorded in any of the standard bibliographies i.e. Abbey, Colas or Lipperheide. Bobins V, 1490.



Oblong octavo (261 x 292mm). Mounted lithographic title and 12 lithographic plates finished in contemporary hand-colour and mounted on card (leaf 3 re-backed with card, tiny marginal chip leaf in 13, very light scattered spotting throughout). Original cloth backed boards, decorative paper label on upper board (original paper back strip over cloth spine worn and defective, minor chips to covers and with some faint damp staining); modern four-flap card enclosure with paper label.
