Copy ex dono auctoris of this illustrated work dedicated to the Alps. The author, already an established painter in England, began to outline the work in 1824, following an excursion in the footsteps of Hannibal's armies, and decided to illustrate all the Alpine passes, a work that he completed during the summers of 1825-1829, for a total of 58 expeditions between Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany.
2 volumes, 4to (294 x 219mm). 109 engraved plates protected by tissue paper, of which 13 of geographical maps, including a large one at the end, and 96 of views and landscapes (some tiny marginal tear not affecting the text, some light staining and foxing especially to the tissue papers and text leaves). Modern half leather over marbled plates, gilt title on spine, upper edge gilt (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: ex dono auctoris a D. Auckland (contemporary ownership inscription on the first leaf in vol. 2). (2)
