[ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851)]

[Military Duties, Occurrences &c. &c.. London: Thomas M'Lean, n.d. but c. 1820.]

The cornerstone to any Alken collection, this rare suite of plates depicts in sharp detail various military ranks, regiments and costumes. Only one copy has come to auction in the last thirty-five years, also incomplete, and until recently (see previous lot) there was only one known complete version held at Yale university (most likely that noted by Abbey as being sold in 1907). Abbey Life 349; Bobins IV, 1270.



Quarto (261 x 179mm). 43 (of 56) etched plates, all coloured by a contemporary hand and window-mounted within leaf of grey paper with elaborately engraved border, titles and captions in manuscript (lacking 13 plates, expertly removed from their window-mounts retaining their frames, minor offsetting and occasional spotting). Slightly later emerald green straight-grained morocco, covers panelled with an outer frame composed of triple gilt fillets and foliate roll tool in blind enclosing central panel composed of nine gilt and three blind fillets connecting elaborate foliate corner pieces, gilt edges (extremities rubbed, joints with some expert repairs and recolouring); housed in green cloth chemise and green quarter morocco slipcase lettered and decorated in gilt (extremities lightly rubbed, concentrated on spine). Provenance: evidence of bookplate torn out of front pastedown.
