Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. John Luffman (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Please email for Photographs or further information. Good - 50 Engraved Plates, some mild foxing and water staining. 1802 1st Edition , PHYSIOGNOMICAL SKETCHES By Johann Kasper Lavater Author Bio: Johann Kaspar (or Caspar) Lavater (15 November 1741 - 2 January 1801) was a Swiss poet, writer, philosopher, physiognomist and theologian. Illustrated By: John Luffman Illustrator Bio: 1776 - 1820 London engraver, author, geographer, publisher, goldsmith. Synopsis: Lavater is most well known for his work in the field of physiognomy, Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe, published between 1775 and 1778. He introduced the idea that physiognomy related to the specific character traits of individuals, rather than general types. Lavater is attributed with catalysing a golden age for silhouettes through this work in physiognomy. According to him, the character of a person could be elucidated through examining their "lines of countenance". The most accurate of readings were facilitated by the tracing of a profile outline portrait. This contour line could be filled with black or cut from the white paper and placed over a black backing. More often, the silhouette was simply cut from black paper. In the chapter "On Shades", Lavater wrote, "What can less the image of a living man be than a shade? Yet how full of speech! Little gold, but the purest."

Original Half Leather Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Second Edition. 1806. Second edition. [iv], 42 pages of hand-coloured copper-plate maps with description of the counties of England; [i], 12 pages of maps of Wales with descriptive accounts; a double-page coloured index map; and a 1 page index. This is a scarce atlas of England and Wales, prepared for use of the young. John Luffman (1776-1820) was a London based engraver, publisher and professional goldsmith. He was also an author in his own right and an accomplished geographer. His early works were engravings of the road maps in Taylor and Skinner's Survey and Maps of the Roads of North Britain, 1776, followed by some city plans and a number of county maps. In 1803, he engraved, printed and published the work for which he is best known, "A New Pocket Atlas". It is noted for the unusual circular maps with detailed descriptive text below, which proved to be very popular. Each map is engraved with a text of topographical information below the map. He writes in his preface that geography is "too often neglected in the education of our your. A knowledge of the geography of our own country, in particular, must be obvious to every one. With a view to this part of juvenile education, I have been induced to offer to ther public the following sheets, elucidated with maps, that will at once make ther pupil acquainted, not only wioth the form and situation, but with every particular relative to each county. The book is bound in the original half-leather over marbled paper covered boards and a paper label on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some expected signs of its age of over 200 years. There is some shelf wear and soiling on the boards and there is a little damage and loss to the leather around the corner tips. About 1/4" of the leather is missing from the top of the spine and about 1/2" is missing from the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and the maps are bright and clean. There is some foxing on the endpapers, the title page and index map at the end of the book. A few of the pages of maps have light finger smudges on the fore edge. The endpapers also have some soiling and there is a water stain on the top 1/2" and part of the fore edge of the front free endpaper. An old name and address has been written on the front free endpaper which also has a small book label from a previous owner, probably from the 1930s. Overall, this is a sound and clean copy of a scarce volume.

Printed in black ink on a 9 x 16.5 cm. piece of paper. A scarce piece of ephemera. Grubby, aged and worn. Laid down on part of a page from an album. A pastiche of a Georgian banknote, the main body of the text reading: 'No. 24 . . . . | Promise to pay to Ignorance, Hypocrisy & Fanaticism, Methodist Preachers, or Bearer FIVE Farthings, when Methodism shall have been done away with by the Pious exertions of the established Clergy, and when Iohn Bull's Family shall be no longer scared by the tale of the Devil let loose. | London the 1st. day of Septr 1810. | For Self, Be-just & Fear-not | Moral Rectitude.' In the margin to the left is a vignette of a methodist minister preaching, in circular border with words: 'I give ye this consolation You'll all be Damn'd'. Beneath the vignette are Luffman's details. Above the engraving is a four-line arrangement of a couplet by Pope: 'For modes of Faith | Let fiery Zealots fight, | He can't be wrong, |whose life is in the right.' Beneath the vignette are the following four lines: 'Mind not one word | Such stupid fellows say. | Fear the true GOD | and mend your sinful way.' Part of a series by Luffman. The British Museum has (from the collection of Edwared Hawkins) a copy of No.16, promising to pay 'to Spouter, Swearlie & Promptspeech, Affidavit Makers, or Bearer, Two Pence, when Coughing, Sneezing or the Bowel-easing Flatus', dated from London, 5 December 1809. Dorothy George has, as No. 11780 in her 'Catalogue of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum', a reissue of this item by S. W. Fores of Piccadilly, but does not have a copy of this original.

The final phase of the Peninsular War Engraved map, hand coloured. John Luffman (1751-1821) was one of the more interesting English publishers of the first decade of the nineteenth century; he began his career as an engraver, trained by John Bayly, a noted map engraver in the Goldsmiths' Company, producing a fine map of Antigua, where had resided in 1787 and 1789; however, and this was a common fate for engraver-mapmakers, he was declared bankrupt on 9th March, 1793, the bankruptcy certified on 21st December, 1793, and a dividend paid on 1st March, 1794. Although he continued in business, he was more cautious thereafter, restricting himself to producing small format atlases and handy-sized map of the theatres of war, principal towns and cities and battle-plans relating to the Wars of the French directorate and subsequent Napoleonic War. Having engraved a good number of maps, Luffman later reprinted them as atlases, for example Luffman's collection, or a geographical & topographical atlas (1815-1816) and Plans of the principal fortresses in the Netherlands and on the French frontier . (1816); the Newberry Library exemplar noted below seems to be from one such composite collection. This attractive map depicts the final phase of the Peninsular War, in which the Anglo-Portuguese army, commanded by the Duke of Wellington, having fought its way up through Spain, sought to cross the Pyrenees into southern France. Unrecorded on COPAC; British Museum, Department of Prints & Drawings, 1917,1208.4056; Newberry Library (Chicago) folio Ayer 135 .L94 1816 pl.
