Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. A complete 1858 first edition set of The Virginians by William Makepeace Thackeray, with all plates present. A sequel of sorts to Henry Esmond, the novel is set in the mid-eighteenth century and follows the fortunes of the Warrington twins as they move between England and colonial America. Blending historical narrative with social observation, Thackeray explores themes of loyalty, honour and identity against the backdrop of the Seven Years' War and the wider Anglo-American world. Rich in character and period detail, The Virginians stands as one of his major later works, extending his exploration of history and society beyond the confines of contemporary Victorian life.

Published by Bradbury & Evans, London. 1858 First Edition.

Edges worn, front hinge open; paper a bit toned but overall internally near fine.Henry Vizetelly, Printer and engraver, Gough Square, Fleet Street"Plates engraved by Louis Marvy; after Sir Augustus Wall Callcott, J.M.W. Turner, J. Holland, Francis Danby, Thomas Creswick, William Collins, Richard Redgrave, Frederick Richard Lee, George Cattermole, William James Mu?ller, James Duffield Harding, Peter Nasmyth, Richard Wilson, Edward William Cooke, John Constable, Peter De Wint, David Cox, Thomas Gainsborough, David Roberts, and Clarkson Stanfield. Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32). An interesting and quite scarce Thackeray item, very rarely found colored.Abbey, Life in England, no 207 : "The majority of the copies issued were uncoloured.".…
