NEWHOUSE, Charles B. (c. 1805-1877)

The Roadsters Album. London: Messrs Fores, 1845.

A rare and bright copy in original cloth. A reissue of the first edition published by Watson in 1833 under the title Incidents of Travelling. To this edition, Fores added the magnificent pictorial title by Henry Alken (1785-1851). Spitz notes that the advertisements in coloured ink are 'found only in the earliest copies'. Charles Newhouse specialized in producing scenes of mail and stage coaching between 1830 to 1845. The present copy is an excellent example of Newhouse’s work, these plates portray the speed associated with the open road, and the calamity or comedy that speed can bring about! Abbey Life 407; Bobins II, 785; Mellon/Snelgrove p.126; Siltzer, p.192 (Watson issue); Tooley 346.



Quarto (380 x 270mm). Aquatint title and 16 plates, title and plates coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, 8pp. publisher’s ads at rear printed in brown, blue, green and red (light spotting, some plates bound out of sequence, plate 1 reinforced along gutter margin with linen tape, plate 12 with short marginal repaired tear). Original brown cloth, the sides with foliate border in blind, the upper side lettered in gilt, yellow coated endpapers (extremities rubbed).
