Contemporary or slightly later green half morocco, with raised bands, gilt titles and decoration to spines, and marbled paper over boards. Top edges gilt; others untrimmed. Generally quite a clean copy, with some light occasional spotting to plates, and some offsetting to facing leaves. Volume II has a number of small repaired chips and tears to the margins of some leaves, while volume I has recently been re-cased, including new leather applied to hinges and the tail-cap, and a new tail-band. Repairs also to hinges. Moderate wear to bindings, with rubbing, chipping and re-colouring to bands, hinges and corners, and some wear to marbled boards. Very good. The first of the inimitable Rev. Dibdin's Bibliographical Antiquarian tours, made shortly after the end of the long-running wars with France, along with everyone else and his dog who could afford it, apparently. Dibdin's tour, however, is unique in being one made with the chief purpose of admiring fine libraries across the continent, though of course architecture and local manners are considered as well. Dibdin is best-known as the founder of the Roxburghe Club, convened initially to mark the sale of the Duke of Roxburghe's famous library in June 1812, and then re-formed each year on its anniversary. It became the very first Book Club, and remains the most exclusive in the world, with no more than 40 active members at any one time.

Lowndes notes that the Bibliomania is written in dialogues or conversations, the characters introduced are well-known book collectors of the author's acquaintance. Jackson identifies these "interlocutors" as J. Rennie, J. Dent, P. Bliss, B. Botfield, Sir F. Freeling, R. Lang, J. North, Lord Aberdeen, J. Markland, Sir G.H. Freeling, R. Wilbraham, and Thomas Hill. Jackson 18; Lowndes I, 639; Windle A11c.

Without the oft-missing "Presentation in the Temple" plate in vol. I. This is the only edition of one of Dibdin's most famous books (there were 50 on large paper) and certainly one of the best printed. Dibdin destroyed the plates for the book at a meeting of the Roxburgh Club. "This work forms one of the monuments of typographical bibliography. As in the style of its production it is the most sumptuous, so in the nature of its contents it may be said to be one of the most interesting books relative to ancient and modern printing" (Bigmore & Wyman). "The work is written in the same dialogue manner as the Bibliomania, with the same interlocutors, and may be properly described as a continuation of it. It is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works" (Jackson). Hart 186: "A bibliographer's classic that marks the beginning of the general recognition of bibliomania as a plaything for wealthy." Bigmore & Wyman pp. 169-170; Jackson 40; Lowndes I, 640; Windle and Pippen, A28.

First edition, 1000 copies printed, this one of 900 of the regular issue; 3 volumes, large, thick 8vo, vignette title pages in each volume, 83 plates (5 double-page, 3 printed in sepia, and 1 colored), 64 other illustrations on India paper mounted in the text, plus a multitude of textual illustrations throughout, 4 printed in red; bound without half-titles in slightly later full tan calf, double gilt rules on covers, black morocco labels on gilt decorated spines, a.e.g.; edges worn, upper joint on vol. III restored, a number of the plates foxed (largely confined to the margins); a good, sound set. This copy enhanced with a presentation in each volume to "B. C. Brodie Esq. from the author." With the bookplates of B. C. Brodie and B. H. Goldschmidt in each volume. Benjamin Collins Brodie was author of the classic Pathological and Surgical Observations on the Diseases of the Joints (G-M 4311). "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text, being printed on India paper pasted-in, are on separately inserted leaves This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated, mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book, being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However, it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" (Jackson). Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Windle & Pippin note but a single presentation copy, that from Dibdin to his son. Jackson 48; Lowndes I, 641; Windle & Pippin A38a.
