Description
London: R. Ackermann, 1815. First Edition. Quarter Morocco. Fine. Folio-sized, measuring 13.5 by 10 inches, 34 by 25 cm. With 17 hand-colored plates of academic dress, which was then more nuanced by position and status. Included are doctor in divinity, doctor in in physic, doctor in law, doctor in music, master of arts, bachelor of arts, a nobleman, a gentleman commoner, a commoner, a student in civil law, a scholar, a proctor, a servitor, a collector, a vice chancellor, beadles and a verger. While the palette of costume is more muted and restrained than typifies other Ackermann costume collections of the time, the plates are both elegant and evocative of Regency style and ideals. The text and plates are clean. Modern brown calf over marbled boards. A hard to come by title in lovely condition.
