EGERTON, Daniel Thomas (1797-1842)

The Necessary Qualifications of a Man of Fashion. London: Thomas M’Lean, 1823 [watermarked 1824].

Rare first edition, each plate illustrates some essential quality of a fashionable beau, with the legends providing ironic commentary on the foibles of the time. Eggerton, a landscape painter, was one of the original members of the Society of British Artists. In his latter years he travelled much of the Americas, gaining fame for his depictions of Mexican culture and society. His life ultimately ended in tragedy and the artist was murdered in Mexico in 1842. Abbey Life 286; Bobins II, 642; Tooley 204.



Oblong folio (256 x 347mm). Letterpress title and 12 engraved plates coloured by a contemporary hand, titles at top of plates with engraved descriptive letterpress at foot (light scattered spotting). Brown half polished calf, marbled sides, spine with red morocco label, ruled and lettered in gilt (extremities rubbed, upper joint splitting and front cover almost detached).
