Description
London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longman, 1835. First edition. Very Good. Featuring a pretty double fore-edge painting by Samuel E. Stevens (fl. 1945-1962) with two charming views: when viewed one way, an isolated estate in a field foregrounded by a river and a bridge; the other way, the steeple of a church rising over a riverwalk and a grove of trees. Contemporary red leather tooled and titled in gilt. Twelvemo. iv, [4], 256 pp. Complete with twenty-one plates (including frontispiece and illustrated title) by George Cattermole, reproduced from Cattermole's illustrations for works by Sir Walter Scott. A bit of smudging and a couple small scratches to binding. Evidence of removed label to spine. All edges gilt. Binder's ticket to corner of upper pastedown ("F. Westley, Binder, Friar Street"). Splitting at gutter between frontis and title-page. Some foxing to first few leaves and to leaves facing plates. A Very Good copy of a gift book with an attractive double fore-edge painting. Scott and Scotland recounts the history and mythology of Scotland, appropriately illustrated with scenes (of castles, landscapes, and historical events) inspired by the works of Sir Walter Scott. This gift book, which was issued as the Heath's Picturesque Annual for 1835, celebrates "Scotland-the country of Scott-the country where the spirits of history, summoned by his enchantments, haunt visibly its mouldering temples and ruined castles" (p. iv). Very Good.
