Softcover. Zustand: Fair. First Edition. Unique in the trade in this state and condition. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete, a big, and sturdy. 20 pp., heavily foxed, but signed by the author, Josiah Boydell (18 January 1752 ? 27 March 1817), a British publisher and painter, at title page upper tip. Thread-sewn, housed in a plastic sleeve. Blotchy stain with tide-lining to first page, dissipating to the second and third page. Boydell's main achievement was the establishment of the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery with his uncle, John Boydell. These two letters to his lawyer and friend argue for the promotion of the arts and crafts movement in England. Boydell was born in Hawarden, Flintshire, of Samuel Boydell (1727?1783), and his wife Ann, née Turner (1725?1764). In 1766, at the age of 14, he moved to London to apprentice under his uncle for seven years. He learned painting from Benjamin West and mezzotint engraving from Richard Earlom, says his Wikipedia entry, then learned engraving, and trained as a painter by drawing the entirety "of the picture collection of Sir Robert Walpole at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, prior to the export of the pictures to Catherine the Great of Russia . . . [Later he] met and (on 6 December 1774) married Jane North, the daughter of Sir Roger North." 20 pp. Josiah and Jane had several children. One son, John North Boydell, was later involved in the family's publishing company.[1]Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets. Signed by Author.

Regarding the scope of the envisioned work Abbey quoted from an advertisement which appeared on the front wrapper of the Gentleman?s Magazine for Jan 1792: ?Each Volume will contain at least Forty Plates, engraved in Aquatint, by Mr.Stadler &c from accurate drawings made by Mr. Farington of the most beautiful and interesting Parts of the River it records; with about Three Hundred of pages of Letterpress; and a Map, describing the Course of the River. ? ?The Materials for the Whole of the Work are almost entirely completed. The History of the Thames and the Forth, which will be the first offered to the Publick, are in such a State of Preparation, that the Former will be ready for Delivery very early in the Year 1793, and the latter will shortly follow. ? The Histories of the Severn and the Clyde are also in great Forwardness, and will be ready for Publication, as it is hoped, in the Spring of the Year 1794?? Abbey then states ?The Project was, however, abandoned at the completion of the History of the Thames, ?? , Size : Folio (410 x 299mm), Vol. 1 is illustrated with a frontispiece entitled ?Tamesis? sculpted by J. Parker after M. Damer?s, an uncoloured folding panorama map of the Thames by John Cooke and 46 coloured aquatint plates; and vol.2 with 30 coloured aquatint plates, three of which are double paged (59, 66, 75). , Volume : 2 Volumes, References : Abbey Scenery 432, Tooley 102. , Vol 1: Frontis, title ?views and scenery??, blank, title 'An History of the River Thames??, blank, dedication to the Earl of Orford, blank, contents, blank, list of plates, blank, preface, ix-xiv, table, blank, folding map, 1-312 with 46 colour plates; vol 2: title, blank, table, blank, list of plates, blank, 1-294 with 30 colour plates.

Original copper engraving (60 x 44 cm, overall sheet 68 x 55 cm). Tissue guard to verso. Light foxing and spotting to outer margins not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints . Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803. In 1789, the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery, an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' (the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible, mythology or the classics) in contemporary British art, a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare, which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century? The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84, along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted, reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase, either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.
