A propos de cet article

Folio (21 4/8 x 12 4/8 inches). Engraved title-page, printed dedication, 2-page list of Subscribers, 24 pages of text, 5 double-page engraved charts, double-page map, and 10 double-page engraved views with center-pieces printed in green, all within decorative borders after Lempriere and Gravelot (3 plates with expertly repaired tears into illustration without loss, one or two other marginal repairs). Contemporary mottled calf (slightly rubbed, rebacked with sheep). Provenance: With the engraved armorial book plate of original subscriber the Rt. Hon.

Lempriere and embellished with elegant borders incorporating emblematic figures by Hubert Gravelot, the French artist who had travelled to England in 1732 to assist on an English edition of Picart's "Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" (1733-7). Pine evidently regarded the armada prints as one of the major projects of his career, since he used his influence to ensure that the Copyright Act of 1735 gave him the exclusive right to copy the tapestries, the insertion of a clause to this effect at the third reading of the bill in April 1735 indicating that the scheme took at least four years from inception to publication" (DNB).
