Title: The Seasons [Wood Engravings by Bewick after Thurston] [1805 Edition]
Author: [Thomson, James] (1700-1748)
Seller: Blind Horse Books [ABAA - FABA] (United States)
Description: London: James Wallis, 1805. A beautifully realized 1805 edition of James Thomson's quintessential pastoral work, distinguished by the presence of Thomas Bewick's wood engravings. Based on the celebrated designs of John Thurston, these illustrations serve as a primary document of the collaboration between the era's leading designer and its most skilled engraver. The work includes the standard 'Life of the Author' by Murdoch and remains a foundational text of the British nature-writing tradition. This edition is noted for its clean, balanced layout, allowing the intricate woodcut headpieces and full-page illustrations to act as visual meditations on the changing English landscape described in the verse. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Illustrated with wood engravings by Thomas Bewick (and his workshop) from designs by John Thurston; includes full-page plates and ornate headpieces for each season. +++ Binding: Period half-morocco with gilt-ruled borders; spine with 5 raised bands and gilt-stamped compartments. patterned endpapers with a gilted top-edge. +++ Content: Complete text of 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn', and 'Winter'; includes 'A Life of the Author' by Patrick Murdoch, 'An Ode on the Death of Mr. Thomson' by Collins, and a 6-page index and glossary of terms. +++ Imprint: London: Printed for James Wallis, 46, Paternoster-Row, by T. Bensley, Bolt Court, 1805. +++ Specs: 8 inches tall (Octavo); xvi, [2], 286, [6] pages. CONDITION: Very Good. +++ The bindings are tight and square. The leather boards show moderate shelf handling wear with noticeable rubbing and wear to the corners and spine tips. The joints remain firm. Internally, the text is clean and bright with light, even age-toning. Some occasional light foxing, primarily restricted to the margins of the illustrated plates. A well-preserved, unsophisticated copy of a classic Georgian binding. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Graphic Arts History: Provides a critical study in the transition of wood engraving from a 'craft' to a 'fine art' through the Bewick-Thurston collaboration. +++ Pastoral Tradition: Acts as a primary source for the study of the Georgic and Pastoral modes in English literature, which reached their height of popularity in the early 19th century. +++ Bibliographic Context: Printed by Thomas Bensley, one of the three 'great printers' of the period (alongside Bulmer and Bell), known for his crisp, high-contrast presswork. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - James Thomson's 'The Seasons' was the first major poem to challenge the urban-centric focus of Augustan literature, turning the English landscape into a subject of sublime contemplation. By 1805, the poem had become a national institution. This edition, featuring Bewick's engravings, appeared at a moment when the British public was increasingly looking toward rural 'simplicity' as an antidote to the industrial and political upheavals of the Napoleonic era. SUBJECTS: English Poetry, Nature in Literature, Wood Engraving, Thomas Bewick, 19th Century Illustration, Romanticism, Illustrated Book, Poetry, Fine Press (Bensley). BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Lowndes p. 2671 (noting the Bewick/Thurston illustrations).
