Description
London: Richard Bentley, 1844. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 138 mm. (8 3/4 x 5 1/2"). Four volumes.. HANDSOME BURGUNDY MOROCCO BY BAYNTUN (stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-ins), covers with triple gilt-ruled frame interlinking with a triple-gilt-ruled diamond, raised bands with gilt dots, gilt ruled compartments with gilt diamond shapes, gilt lettering, gilt-ruled turn-ins with a floral tool at each corner, all edges gilt. With 18 portraits as called for, four of these with hand coloring, and EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 60 PLATES. Only the barest hint of wear to extremities, spines just a shade darker than covers, a handful of portraits a bit foxed, but A FINE SET, clean and fresh internally, the bindings lustrous, and the set obviously very little used. This is a very attractively bound set containing the biographies of 38 notable Englishwomen, extra-illustrated with plates depicting some of the people and places integral to the subjects' lives. Covering the period from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the 18th century, these four volumes include many women of noble birth and position, such as Arabella Stuart, Elizabeth Cromwell, and Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia; poets and artists such as Susanna Centlivre, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Mary Beale; and women famous for their fantastic deeds, such as Jane Lane, who assisted Charles II during his escape after the Battle of Worcester. Our author Louisa Stuart Costello (1799-1870) was a miniaturist, poet, and writer of biographies, travel stories, and fiction. According to DNB, "her biographies of royal and noble women--which clearly traded on the popularity of similar works by Lucy Aikin, the Strickland sisters, and Mary Anne Everett Green--were creditable examples of this literary genre and generally involved some original research." For the present work, Costello relied heavily on access to the library and papers of the duke of Devonshire, whom she thanks in her introduction. In addition to 18 portraits called for in the contents (several of which were drawn by Costello herself), this set has been "grangerized" with 60 additional plates that further illustrate the life and times of these illustrious women. The lustrous bindings by an eminent British firm are an additional source of pleasure, making a beautiful appearance on the shelf..

Description
First UK Edition/First Printing; A Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to the title page. An exceptionally well preserved copy of this novel by the author of multiple award winning works and the screenplay for "2001: A Space Odyssey", this being the first UK edition which followed the first US edition, but seems to be much scarcer in today's marketplace, particularly signed. This copy is in near fine condition showing only some minor age-toning to the board and page edges, and some mild off-setting to the endpapers. Housed in a clean and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some light rubbing and chipping to the spine ends with a couple of short closed tears along the bottom edge of the front panel, and some mild creasing along the flap folds and panel edges. Overall, a highly presentable copy of an uncommon title, scarce indeed signed, Not remaindered, not price-clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship securely wrapped in a sturdy box.
