Zustand: very good. New York : Dover, 1970. Paperback. ix,163 pp. 28 cm. - Before the invention of photography, in the days when illustrated books were inordinately costly, one means of satisfying the universal human desire for pictures was the so-called "catch-penny." This was an engraved sheet of paper, sometimes filled with illustrations, sometimes with verse, sometimes with both, but hawked on the streets of London for a penny. Millions of these broadsides must have been printed in the 18th century, but most of them have perished or lie inaccessible in the print collection of the great libraries. By a fortunate chance, a unique collection of late-18th-century broadsides, all printed by the London firm of Bowles and Carver, recently came on the market. Reprinted for the first time in almost 200 years, these fabulously rare prints reveal the world of delight and surprise that must have been felt by the original purchasers of this fascinating folk art. Plebeian humor, vital, earthy, is the chief characteristic of this range of prints: familiar types of the day, perhaps individuals (Peggy Bacon-face, Squire Somebody, Bet Boozer); the characters of literature (Sir John Falstaff, in a particularly gross form); birds and animals, by artists who surely never saw them; children's born-book sheets, with alphabets, objects to be spelled, early nursery rhymes, including the first appearance of certain Mother Goose rhymes; ladies of fashion; Captain Macheath and Lucy Locket from The Beggar's Opera; great ships; trades, occupations, street cries; the Royal Family; the traditional heroes of England; puzzle pictures find the giant; soldiers; The Wonderful Pig; and a host of others. Between Hogarth and Gillray in style, this collection offers a close-up view of the 1780s and 1790s not recorded elsewhere. It serves its original purpose: to delight, entertain, amuse, and instruct adults and children alike. Today, however, it has another use: a new, strong source of picture material for commercial artists and designers. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780486225692. Keywords : POPULAR CULTURE.…

No binding. Zustand: Good. Small quarto (190 x 110 mm.), two volumes, full contemporary tree calf, gilt ruled boards, spines with ornate gilt ruled compartments, blue calf gilt title labels and gilt volume numbers worn, light wear to board volume 1, complete with blank endpapers. Volume 1 with engraved general double-page map of England and Wales, engraved title page, dedication to the King, General Contents, Preface, Index, 340 engraved road strip maps (2 to a page), Direct Roads of a lesser notes paginated 341-403, pp. xxxv, blank. Volume 2: Engraved title page, 46 [cross] road strip maps (2 to a page numbered contiguously from 404-449 in two columns), pp. 450-634, in good condition. Daniel Paterson (1738-1825) was born at Duddingston, Edinburgh in 1738. He was commissioned in the army in 1765 and served in the Quartermaster General's department until 1812. He made Assistant Quartermaster General for the last eight years before his retirement. He then became Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec until his death in 1825. According to the ODNB it seems unlikely that he ever went there. 'Paterson's Roads' was first published in 1771 and it proved to be a popular work being published into the nineteenth century. It only contained one general map. In 1785, this rarer profusely illustrated work was published by Carington Bowles (1724-93) running to only five editions. There are two road strips per page, each individually numbered. It is notable for including some of the first road maps of many parts of Scotland. Paterson made no significant cartographic contribution but did however compile useful works containing much information on the roads. This second edition of 1796 is by Bowles' successors, Henry Carington Bowles (his son, 1763-1852) in partnership with Samuel Carver. In this issue there is a change of format, the direct roads are all consecutive in the first volume. The cross roads are in the second volume. All plates and text pages are numbered consecutively throughout the two volumes. The general map has had the engraved dividing line marking the two volumes erased.

No binding. Zustand: Good. 470 x 590 mm., in fine early wash colour, in very good condition. In about 1780 Carington Bowles first published "Bowles's Universal Atlas". An example of this edition appears to be in the Library of Congress. It was quite possibly intended to be a smaller and more manageable version of Kitchin's "General Atlas" first published in 1773. Those maps were often multi sheet and folding making their use difficult. In the Bowles atlas the majority of the maps are single sheet. Bowles appears to have re-issued the atlas with revisions just prior to his death in 1793. He was succeeded by his son Henry Carington Bowles (1763-1852) who shortly after formed a partnership with Samuel Carver. The firm was renamed Bowles and Carver and continued trading at No. 69 St. Paul's Churchyard. Most publications by this firm are rare and "Bowles's Universal Atlas" is no exception. Undated as before the atlas is usually ascribed the date of 1798 or thereafter based on internal evidence.

Hand coloured game board, 480 x 640 mm. in modern slip case. Joints and edges a little worn. One of the earliest educational board games, this shows all the most recent discoveries. Van Diemen's Land [Tasmania] is shown as part of Australia; it was not until 1798 that British explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders successfully sailed their small whaleboat completely around it.

A fine early jigsaw map of Asia and the Pacific that includes details of the northernmost portion of Australia as well as an additional inset map of the entire Australian continent, filled with historical detail. Van Diemen's Land is depicted distinct from the mainland with 'Basses Str.' clearly printed. Notable harbours and landmarks along the eastern seaboard include Bateman's Bay, Port Jackson, Botany Bay, Cape Byron, Hervey Bay, Cape Morton and Cape York. The inset map records the sites and dates of early Dutch discoveries in Western Australia as well as William Dampier's first landfall of 1688. Bowles's "New One Sheet Map of Asia" was issued in paper form several times with amendments. Perry & Prescott date the map 1801 (catalogue 1802.06), of which an example is in the National Library of Australia. …
