A propos de cet article

Philadelphia: John and Thomas Doughty, 1830-1833. 3 vols in 2. Quarto (11 1/8”x 9”, 283mm x 230mm). First edition. With 56 lithographed plates: 54 hand-colored and 2 uncolored plates. (pl. 5 in vol. 2 and pl. 7 in vol. 3). Engraved frontispiece of Charles Wilson Peale by J. B. Longacre after Rembrandt Peale in vol. 1. Engraved frontispiece of William Bartram in vol. 2. All plates in volume 1 after Thomas Doughty and remaining plates by various artists. Many wood-engraved text illustrations. Bound in brown half morocco over marbled boards. Gilt title and volume to second and fourth panels on the spine with five raised bands. Both volumes housed in a custom quarter brown morocco slipcase with folding chemises. Spines rubbed and boards scraped. Heavy staining to vol. 1, but plates intact. Foxing throughout both vols. Front pastedown starting. Tissue guards. Country pursuits have long been the traditional occupation of a gentleman. In some regards, this is universal: hunting, cultivation, games and so forth. What the American sportsman adds, especially in the early XIXc, is the sense of exploration and wildness that comes from the vast expanse of the continent. The Doughtys — Thomas (1793–1856) was the father of the Hudson River School, though a Philadelphian — gathered anything having to do with the great outdoors, from glossaries to botanical and ornithological publications, to cultivation guides and home- and land-owner’s tips, right through to tales of hunting and fishing. Initially issued monthly, the popularity of the venture (and doubtless old sheets as well) led to this issue in book form. Bennett calls volume III “perhaps the most difficult of all American sport item to find.” The work is distinguished as the first major publication in America illustrated with hand-colored lithographic plates. For the next thirty years, this was the prime means of disseminating color images in America; although chromolithography would be developed a few years after the present work, it would not be used widely till after the Civil War. Bookplates of Thomas B. Wilson (res non verba/facts not words). From the library of Laird U. Park, Jr. (from his sale Sotheby’s New York, 29 November 2000, lot 79) The Park Library was devoted principally to the history of Philadelphia and to Benjamin Franklin in particular. Although some books were collected by Irene Dearnley Park, the majority were gathered by her son, the Philadelphia businessman Laird U. Park, Jr. Bennett p. 35, Henderson p. 37, Howes D433, Reese American Color Plate Books 12. …
