ORME, Edward (1775-1848) and HOWITT, Samuel (?1765-1822)

Orme's Collection of British Field Sports. London: Edward Orme, 1807 [-1808].

'Very rare. The first and only edition of the finest and most important sporting book of the last two centuries' (Schwerdt). Tooley calls it 'a magnificent work, the most valuable English colour plate book on Sport'. The present copy contains the plates in an early state, printed on sheets watermarked 1804 to 1806 (Abbey records copies dated as late as 1819). Plates 2 and 9 with the printed overslips correcting the caption, and plate 2 with the letter 'x' added to 'cheveau' in manuscript. Abbey Scenery 14; Bobins II, 780; Mellon/Podeschi 86; Schwerdt II, p.53; Tooley 273.



Oblong folio (466 x 570mm). Hand-coloured aquatint title, 20 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Godby, Vivares, Craig, Clark and Merke after Howitt, and list of plates with aquatint vignette bound at end (title faintly creased, plate 10 with 50mm repaired marginal tear just into plate mark, plate 20 with 60mm repaired marginal tear just into plate mark and another very short repaired marginal tear, list of plates lightly creased and with two very short marginal tears, one just touching plate mark, occasional faint spotting mainly confined to versoes of plates). Contemporary red straight-grained half morocco, gilt morocco lettering piece to upper cover (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: evidence of bookplate removed.
