Description
James Gillray,
British 1757-1815-
The works of James Gillray from the original plates, with the addition of many subjects not before collected;
a volume of etchings, published London, 1851, printed for Henry G. Bohn by Charles Whiting, York Street, Covent Garden, each titled, numbered (upper right corner) and inscribed in the plate, most bearing annotations in pencil; the binding part Morocco with marbled paper, with gilding on the page edges and the spine, the sheets various sizes, the volume 64.9 x 50.6 cm. overall.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present volume contains approximately 580 plates by the renowned political satirist James Gillray, many of which were first published between c.1791-1811 by Hannah Humphrey, Georgian London's leading seller of caricature prints.
After Hannah Humphrey's son and successor George Humphrey died in 1835, Gillray's original plates were offered at auction, for the price of the copper from which they were fashioned. Henry Bohn purchased the plates and began publishing new impressions for the Victorian collectors' market, bound in attractive volumes like the one presented here.
