Canada pittoresque
Bartlett & Willis, 1843
BARTLETT, William Henry (1809-1854), illustrator. WILLIS, Natheniel P. (1806-1867). Canada pittoresque. London: George Virtue, 1843.

"The finest of Mr. Bartlett’s works" (Sabin). Rare, hand-colored copy. This edition has the text translated into French by L. de Bauclas, but the captions to the engravings are in English with smaller translations in French and German. As in the Abbey copy of the sister volume, American Scenery, the hand-coloring is "skillful enough to be professional," although we locate no bibliographical record of a hand-colored issue. Bobins 34; Dow, pp.570ff (for the Niagara views); Sabin 3786 (English ed.); TPL 2424 (English ed.).

Two volumes bound in one, quarto (279 x 212mm). With engraved portrait of the artist, two engraved additional titles, engraved map, and 116 hand-colored engraved views for a total of 120 engravings (intermittent toning, scattered pale foxmarks to about a third of plates, mostly marginal, pl. in vol. 2 at p.64 with marginal crease and light stain; crease to first letterpress title). 19th-century half morocco, spine richly gilt in six compartments with raised bands, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed (corners showing). Provenance: Julie de Petiteville (neat manuscript label dated 1884).Bartlett & Willis
