Illustrated edition of 'Don Quixote' translated by the Irish author and translator, Charles Jervas. The translator's name was famously misprinted as 'Jarvis', meaning his translation of the classic story, which was still being printed over 200 years after the initial publication, is still referred to as the 'Jarvis edition'. Twenty illustrations including portrait frontispiece and a folding map. Missing one leaf in Volume I which contained the direction to the printer for the placement of the prints, missing one illustration; cxlvi, 372; x, 412; xvi, 392; xi, 440 [viii], 7 page publisher's catalogue at the rear. Bound in half red leather with marbled-papered-covered boards, marbled-paper endpapers. Octavo. Wear to leather particularly at hinges, slight splitting at top, corners bumped, wear to boards, occasional tears to some margins, not affecting text, lightly foxed, former owner's signature in neat blue ink to ffeps, a couple of marks to pages but generally clean and bright with clear text, bindings firm and square.

Second edition with these illustrations by Issac Robert Cruikshank (misspelt Cruickshank on the engraved title pages). Two volumes. Publisher's original red-brown cloth with printed paper title labels to the spines. Page edges uncut. Complete with the half titles present in each volume. Illustrated with an engraved portrait frontispiece to volume one, additional engraved title pages to each volume and 25 full-page woodcut plates by Cruikshank. A very good set, the bindings square and firm with bumping to the corners and a couple of minor splits to the heads of the spines. The contents with a little cracking to the rear hinge of volume two, the engraved portrait frontispiece with a diagonal crease, a little raggedness to the edges and some spotting, light scattered foxing to the preliminary pages, and a neat contemporary previous owner's inscription to the title pages ("J: Waites - St: Johns Coll:-") are otherwise in very good order. A charming, unsophisticated set, uncommon thus. A nicely illustrated edition of Cervantes' classic work, often labelled as the first modern novel, first issued in this form in 1824 by Knight and Lacy of London. Like his father and more famous brother George (to which the present work is often misattributed), Issac Robert Cruikshank (1789-1856) was a pioneer in the history of comic illustration. The present work forms one of his most notable series of illustrations. Most appealing in the original cloth. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

First edition of Jarvis' translation of Cervantesâ masterpiece, with the eight page translator's preface present in volume one. Quarto, two volumes, bound in full contemporary calf with gilt titles and ruling to the spine in seven compartments within raised gilt bands, all edges stained red, double gilt ruling to the front and rear panel. Illustrated with 27 numbered full-paged engravings in volume one and 41 numbered full-paged plates in volume two. In very good condition and neatly rebacked. Translated from the Spanish into English by Charles Jarvis. From the collection of Ken Rapoport with his bookplate to the front pastedown. Often cited as the first modern novel, Cervantes' masterpiece Don Quixote remains not only the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age, but the most important work of the entire Spanish literary canon. First published in 1605, Don Quixote gained immediate popularity in Spain for its "variety, liveliness, and gibes at the famous" while Cervantes' universal portrayal of the human condition has cemented its status as "one of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times" (PMM). The Ibarra edition swiftly became the preferred edition in Spain when it appeared in 1780 (Palau, 52024). âIt is interesting to realize that the first modern novel was composed by a sick, aged and impoverished man, who believed that a satirical tale might produce more revenue than the poems and plays that he regarded as his more serious mission. Under the guise of a parody on romances of chivalry, Cervantes created a study of reality and illusion, madness and sanity, that links him with such acute 16th-century students of psychology as Erasmus, Rabelais, Montaigne, and Shakespeareâ (Folgerâs Choice, 30).

First edition of the Jervas translation. Two volumes. Contemporary mottled calf, five raised bands, gilt decorated compartments, titles in gilt to the spine. Bound with: 'The life of Michael de Cervantes Saavedra. Written by Don Gregorio Mayáns and Sisár' (the first English translation 1738); 'A supplement to the translator's preface' more commonly know as 'A dissertation on the origin of books of chivalry' by William Warburton; 'Advertisment concerning the Prints' by John Oldfield. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 67 copper plates engraved by Gerard van der Gucht from drawings by John Vanderbank and an additional frontispiece engraved by George Virtue after a drawing by G. Kent. Decorative head and tail pieces and initial letters. The bindings are square and firm with minor surface wear to the boards and corners. The original spines laid down and refurbished at the joints and tips. The contents, with near paper strengthening to the inner hinge of volume I, light browning to the margins and a short closed tear to the fore-edge of one plate, are otherwise in good order throughout. An attractive example of the first edition of this esteemed translation. Jervas (1675-1739), consistently misspelled on editions of his translation as 'Jarvis', was a portrait painter and translator. "Jervas entered the literary circle of Addison, Pope, and Swift, setting up his home and studio in London in Cleveland Court, Westminster. He was hailed by Richard Steele in The Tatler of 16 April 1709 a 'the last great painter Italy has sent to us'. As well as literary friends, Jervas also had an influential patron in the prime minister Sir Robert Walpole. Jervas played an important role in acquiring works of art for Walpole's ever expanding collection, as well as contributing his own portraits. His major literary undertaking was an English translation of Cervantes' Don Quixote. Published posthumously in 1742 and frequently reprinted, it is generally acknowledged as being close in spirit to the original" ODNB.
