The Town Panoramas of Samuel and Nathaniel Buck by Ralph Hyde Summary: Every year, from 1728 to 1753, the brothers Samuel and Nathaniel Buck travelled the length and breadth of England and Wales, producing a series of panoramic views of cities and towns, such as St Paul's Cathedral and London Bridge. The works often included ancillary details, from grazing sheep to figures of drunken sailors and picnicking gentry. This book features a number of their works, and also surveys their lives and working methods, their techniques of advertising, engraving and selling their prospects, and also provides descriptions of each subject.

A handsome and complete set of this monumental collection of castles, abbeys, country houses, and city prospects, regarded as a crucial cultural touchstone of the eighteenth century. Buck's Antiquities preserves many castles and abbeys, which are now totally destroyed, and the ways of life of the towns and cities captured in their urban panoramas before the industrial revolution. This was the intention: unlike other works of the time that merely sought to romanticise English history, the Bucks sought to 'rescue the mangled remains. [of] these aged & venerable edifices from the inexorable jaws of time'. By all accounts they succeeded, as their engravings now stand as an invaluable source of local history and topography. The entire project took Samuel Buck (1696-1779) and his brother Nathaniel Buck (d.1759/1774) thirty-four years, with eighteen years of travelling between 1724 and 1742 and the engravings themselves appearing in parts from 1726 through to 1753. The commercial success of the enterprise initially made the Buck brothers wealthy, as is shown by the ostentatious mezzotint twin portrait engraved by Richard Houston after the painting by Joseph Highmore. Despite initial success, financial difficulties in later life forced the brothers to sell the plates to Robert Sayer in 1774, who then reissued the complete work in three volumes under the title Buck's Antiquities as here. Each plate has a, sometimes extensive, descriptive caption and the crest and title of the owner of the castle, abbey, or house in question. New to the 1774 issue are the additional descriptions of the plates in the introductions; for the prospects they expand to broad architectural descriptions of the town and cities they depict. Three vols, folio (vols I & II 46 x 30 cm, vol. III 46 x 46.5 cm); mezzotint portrait frontispiece, additional engraved title-page, double-page map coloured in outline, 428 numbered engraved plates with descriptive captions, of which 6 folding, 83 double-page city prospects, engraved vignette head- and tailpieces, armorial bookplates to pastedowns of vols II & III, light spotting to 10 prospects and 6 folding plates, small repaired tear to inner margin of frontispiece and engraved title, outer margins of plate 297 trimmed, otherwise clean internally; contemporary full tree calf expertly restored preserving original spines, gilt rolled border to boards, flat gilt spines in seven compartments with contrasting gilt morocco lettering pieces, gilt to top edges tarnished, a near-fine set; viii, (9)-24, [2]; 17, [1]; 22pp. Provenance: P.

Samuel and Nathaniel Buck's 'A Prospect of Britain' printed in London in 1774, is generally accepted as the finest collection of panoramas of British cities to be published in the eighteenth century. The work contained a series of 81 large views and was published by Robert Sayer. The brothers Samuel and Nathaniel Buck were born in Richmond, North Yorkshire and became interested in sketching town prospects because of Ralph Thoresby, a local antiquary. From 1719 they produced and published a series of views of towns in the north of England. Each was available to subscribers for between 2 and 5 shillings each. They soon outgrew the north and moved south to London. Their tours to sketch were prepared well in advance, potential subscribers being contacted before-hand usually through local press. The following summer season would be when the view was prepared. At the end of the season they would return to London and began the process of engraving. On occasions other artists were employed to enhance the foreground image and bring it to life, many including labourers, fishermen, sportsmen and peddlers. The work was finally completed in 1753 after 34 years. It has been suggested by Ralph Hyde that the engraver Jean-Baptiste Chatelain (1710-1771) may have been employed to produce many of the later plates.The commercial success of the enterprise initially made the brothers wealthy. However they both appear to have developed financial problems later in life. Nathaniel Buck died in 1756 and in 1774 Robert Sayer acquired the copper plates from Samuel and published them here in 'Buck's Antiquities', a magnificent three volume work priced at 20 guineas. In 1779 Samuel Buck died. Much of the topography documented in the views has subsequently been lost and they are a very valuable record of a pre-industrial Britain. These perspective panoramic views have never been surpassed; no other series of views ever published was as extensive or detailed. The front of the work bears a very fine mezzotint double portrait of Samuel and Nathaniel Buck dressed finely. It was engraved by Joseph Highmore after a painting by Richard Houston (1692-1780).They provided the model for numerous derivatives including the inset views to Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin's 'Large English Atlas' c.1755, Robert and James Dodsley's 'England Illustrated' 1764, Nathaniel Spencer's 'Complete English Traveller' 1773, George Walpoole's 'New & Complete English Traveller' 1784 and the European, London and Universal Magazines from the 1750s.

Zustand: Good. Contemporary vellum spine and corners and paper covered boards, age worn. Oblong 2° (305 x 470mm). 24 engraved plates printed on single sheets. (Occasional time stains in margins, some edges slightly frayed with light dust soiling, but not into images.) There is an engraved list of the prints and the subscribers followed by the 24 plates. This is the first printing, which was published is sets of 24 plates for England and Wales at two guineas per set.Samuel Buck (1696-1779) and his brother Nathaniel (active 1724-59) published two major series of engraved views of England and Wales: 81 prospects of towns (1728-53) and views of over 400 antiquities - ruined castles, abbeys and the like (1726-42). These constitute the most significant print series produced in Britain in the first half of the 18th century. Taken as a whole, the engravings represent the nation's improving present condition along with the relics of its past.Britain was, in effect, a newly created state, born out of the Union of the Scottish and English Parliaments in 1707. The political centre of gravity however, was England - a probable reason for why the Bucks did not venture into Scotland. The new country had been recognised as a world power by the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713, following the War of the Spanish Succession. Samuel Buck announced in November 1726 ".his intention of systematically recording ruins throughout England. The castles, religious foundations, and other remains of antiquity throughout the kingdom, he argued, were in a lamentable condition. He would 'rescue the mangled remains' of 'these aged & venerable edifices from the inexorable jaws of time' (S. Buck, 'Proposals for the publication of . twenty-four views of castles . in the counties of Lincoln and Nottingham', 1 Nov. 1726, copy in priv. coll.), by visiting and recording them. . . Finally they produced sets for Wales, apparently touring the counties of Wales in 1739-41.This work preceded Piranesi's view of ancient Rome by 3 years.Lowndes, p. 304.…

Fine mezzotint double portrait of the Buck brothers by Richard Houston after Joseph Highmore, additional engraved title-page by Charles Grignion after Henri Gravelot in volume one, folding engraved general index map 428 EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved views, including 6 FINE large folding plates (without the volume of town and city views). Contemporary mottled calf (rebacked to elaborate style, lower cover of volume one bumped at the bottom edge). A FINE AND ATTRACTIVE COPY OF PROBABLY THE BEST COLLECTION OF VIEWS OF ANTIQUITIES IN 18TH-CENTURY ENGLAND AND WALES, and providing a unique record of English and Welsh medieval and later architecture, much of which has either disappeared altogether, or has been altered almost beyond recognition. This monumental project was initially published over three decades from the 1720s. Having achieved great success with his publications of town prospects, Samuel Buck announced in November 1726 ".his intention of systematically recording ruins throughout England. The castles, religious foundations, and other remains of antiquity throughout the kingdom, he argued, were in a lamentable condition. He would 'rescue the mangled remains' of 'these aged & venerable edifices from the inexorable jaws of time' (S. Buck, 'Proposals for the publication of . twenty-four views of castles . in the counties of Lincoln and Nottingham', 1 Nov 1726, copy in priv. coll.), by visiting and recording them. In the summer of 1727 Nathaniel accompanied Samuel on a peregrination of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire. In 1728 the brothers announced their plan to undertake the remaining counties of northern England, but they discovered enough recordable ruins in Durham and Northumberland for the following year's set of twenty-four, and Cumberland and Westmorland had to wait. In 1729-31 they took their sketch-boards to the midlands, between 1732 and 1736 they covered the counties in the south of England and also in Monmouthshire, in 1737 they covered the counties of East Anglia, and in 1738 they completed England by dealing with Cumberland and Westmorland. Finally they produced sets for Wales, apparently touring the counties of Wales in 1739-41. With the publication in 1742 of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Merioneth, Montgomeryshire, and Radnor, the antiquities project was completed. This project constituted only half of the Buck brothers' enterprise. From 1728 they had worked on a parallel project: producing and publishing a series of long prospects of English and Welsh 'Cities, Sea-ports, and Capital Towns'.The copper plates for printing the antiquities and the principal series of town prospects were acquired by the Fleet Street printmaker Robert Sayer. Sayer reissued the prints in 1774, making them available in single sheets, or bound into three volumes with the comprehensive title "Buck's Antiquities" (Ralph Hyde for DNB).
