1p., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. The lower half of the reverse laid down on a piece of card from an album. A charming letter apparently written to a young girl, suffused with late Victorian charm. He writes: 'My dear Miss Alice | The little orchid you sent to me last evening was a very sweet one. It belongs to the group "Maxillaria", all of which are sweetly scented. I miss my old pets very much, but we cannot have everything in this world!; He concludes, after reporting on the state of his 'Lilies', in the hope that the recipient and her sister are in good health.

A Londres, chez l'imprimeur J. Smeeton, dans la rue Saint Martin, 1793. In-4 relié plein veau brun, dos lisse à fleurons allégoriques dorés, plats encadrés d'une guirlande de fines branches dorées, gardes de papier marbrés, roulette dorés intérieure, toutes tranches dorées. 38 pages + superbe estampe aquarellée de Antonio Césare de POGGI, dessinateur, peintre d'histoire et éditeur, dépliante au format de 38 x 51 centimètres (40 pouces x 26, mesure du pied d'Angleterre, datée du 25 may 1792, légendes en marge. L'estampe, dessinée sur place en 1783, est d'une très grande finesse, elle a été gravée par Mr. Pouncey, graveur anglais, travail qui a demandé plus de 7 années. En tête d'ouvrage, on trouve la liste des souscripteurs pour l'estampe (Le Roi et la Reine de Grande Bretagne, les noms des Altesses Royales, etc) sur 8 pages, s'en suit un avertissement à la date du 6 mai 1793 de 4 pages, puis "Lettre de Mr. Le Chevalier Foulis, Major de la Place de Gibraltar, sur la SORTIE faite par la Garnison de cette Place le matin du 27 novembre 1781, adressée à M+++.", 10 pages. Ensuite "Description alphabétique de l'Estampe représentant la sortie faite par la Garnison de Gibraltar dans la matinée du 27 novembre 1781", 11 pages . + Un tableau "Disposition et forces du détachement. Brigadier Général Ross". L'ouvrage se termine sur 2 pages de P.S. (post-sciptum), qui contient les remerciements de Mr. de Poggi à ceux qui lui ont apporté aide pour la résalisation de l'estampe. La reliure est un peu frottée, coins émoussés, petits manques de cuir en tête et en queue, l'exemplaire est à grandes marges, ne présente que quelques rousseurs en page de titre sans gravité, l'estampe présente une déchirure sans manque anciennement restaurée avec du papier collant, un petit trou sans manque à une pliure et une tache brune à une pliure en partie supérieure. Le dessin est d'une remarquable finesse. Malgré les petits défauts signalés, cet ouvrage très rare, est en bon état.
