Mexico y sus AlrededoresMexico City, 1855-6 [and later]Mexico y sus Alrededores. Coleccion de Monumentos, Trajes y Paisajes. Mexico City: Litografico de Decaen, 1855 and 1856 [but also later]. "One of the significant lithographic productions in the history of the art [and] the most important work illustrating Mexico in the 19th century" (Mathes). These richly detailed plates of Mexico City were printed by the renowned Mexican lithographer Decaen and executed by Casimiro Castro, Juan Campillo, G. Rodriguez, and Luis Auda. It was one of the first plate-books to be created by Mexicans rather than foreign visitors, and "depicts scenes in and around the City of Mexico during an era of development, civil war, and foreign invasion; which party controlled the capitol influenced the addition and subtraction of some plates from successive editions" (America Pictured to the Life). The book went through a complicated series of editions; it was begun in 1855 and continued to be enlarged in subsequent years with additional plates; bibliographic authorities report many differing plate counts or different states of the plates, and copies are found with or without text leaves. There was an expanded issue published in 1864, but many copies seem to have a mix of states and plates. The copy contains the text in Spanish. Abbey Travel 672 (with 38 plates and no text); America Pictured to the Life 18; Colas 547 (30 plates and 32pp. text); Mathes pp. 29-30; Sabin 48590 (18 plates).Folio (453 x 318mm). Half-title, text pp. 3-37. Lithographic title, 35 lithographic plates, some of which in color or tinted, with tissue guards and captions in English, Spanish, and French (spotting and toning, some tissue guards torn). Contemporary gilt-stamped publisher's cloth (worn, rebacked preserving original cloth). Custom box.
