In den WarenkorbOctavo (23 cm); 5 volumes. Extra-illustrated with 197 (give or take) black-and-white engravings (some folding) and 16 color stipple engravings including portraits, facsimiles, scenes, and a map. Handsomely re-cased in 20th-century tan buckram with leather labels on spines titled in gilt. Some offsetting onto text pages from oppo…sing plates, but otherwise the text is in excellent condition. Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson is a book that names names. Johnson, during his long life, came into contact with virtually everyone in British society who left a footprint, and Boswell names them all. John Wilson Croker's edition of Boswell's great biography-offered here in its initial printing-inspired something of a fashion for collectors to gather up printed portraits of the figures named in the biography, and have them bound into their copies of Croker's Boswell opposite the pages where the figure is named or discussed. The majority of the portraits, scenes, facsimiles, and maps in this copy date from the first quarter of the 19th century, while a few were printed in the late 1700s and the most recent ones date from the 1840s. Celebrity portraits include those of Johnson, Boswell, Hester Lynch Piozzi, Richardson, Rousseau, Sterne, Catherine the Great, Leibnitz, Byron, Swift, Joseph Banks, Voltaire, Madame de Sévigné, Captain Cook, Thomas Gray, John Donne, Adam Smith, Walter Scott, Joseph Addison, Thomas Brown, Montaigne, Drake, Milton, and many, many, many others.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 10 volume set. Bound with maroon leather spines and corners. Red cloth over boards. Raised cords on the spines. Lettering in gold, with volume numbers, date, and 'extra illustrated.' Top edges gilt. Varying page counts - between 320 and 425. A pencil notation inside the front cover of volume 1 says… there are 140 additional plates. These plates are usually portraits of people mentioned in the biography, taken from earlier sources and carefully sized and inserted here to supplement the original material. Each of these additional plates has the binder's code on the back, identifying which volume and which page it should be inserted at. Some folding facsimiles pages as well. Bindings good and right and quite attractive. Some slight wear to the hinges, but this hardly detracts. Also, a small chip at the extended top of the crown of the spines on 3 volumes prevent it from being flawless, but these chips are so small as only to be visible when you look down on the books from above. Each volume measures 4.5 x 6.75 inches. The whole set sits on 12 inches of shelf space. Please email to request photos or with questions. Extra shipping will be required to ship the 10 vol set safely.
