Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. POMPEII ITS DESTRUCTION AND RE-DISCOVERY DRAWINGS & ENGRAVINGS 1880s ? I am pleased to offer a large and especially prepared book titled: Pompeii- Its Destruction and Re-Discovery with Engravings and Descriptions of the Arts and Architecture of Its Inhabitants by Sir William Gell and J. P. Gandy. This very large hard cover book (9 x 12 x 2, unpaginated including 24 pages of text and 70 plates with tissue-guards) was apparently imported by R. Worthington of New York, no dated found but research suggests the 1880s . The book is bound in light brown cloth boards with bevel edges and gilt and black decorations and titles on the cover and spine. Each of the plates has a tissue-guard and a separate facing page with a brief description of the contents of the plate. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are bumped at the corners and spine tips including some fraying of the lower right-hand corner. The boards are also dust-dulled and the gilt a bit tarnished. Inside, the book is unmarked but there are many pages with foxing, typically those adjacent to the tissue-guard of the plates. There are also some pages without foxing. Both hinges (reinforced) are intact but the binding is cracked in each case front & back- somewhere nearby. The binding feels a bit loose but is hanging together. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…

Gell, William (1777-1836) and John Peter Gandy (1787-1850). Pompeiana: The topography, edifices, and ornaments of Pompeii. [iii] xxxi, [1], 273, [3]pp. 80 engraved plates, including frontispiece, one plate hand-colored; text illustrations. London: Rodwell and Martin, 1817-19. 233 x 145 mm. Diced calf gilt ca. 1819, rebacked preserving original spine. Occasional mild foxing but very good. 19th-century ownership signature ("Thomas Wright") on the title and front flyleaf. First Edition of the first definitive work on Pompeii in English, by the British classical archeologist William Gell in collaboration with British architect J. P. Gandy. "Despite the importance of Pompeii, and the fact that excavations had been going on for half a century, no authoritative account of the site was presented to English readers until 1817 when Gell published Pompeiana . . . Gell prepared the illustrations for Pompeiana on site with the camera lucida, an instrument that enabled the draftsman to trace an image onto paper, thereby controlling scale and dimension. John Peter Gandy, who had accompanied Gell on the Ionian Expedition, wrote most of the text but with reliance on Gell's research. Pompeiana was beautifully printed and heavily illustrated with high-quality engravings and numerous vignettes, mostly from Gell's drawings. Gandy did his literary work well but Pompeiana's value lies primarily in its illustrations, which are organized topographically so that the reader seems to stroll down a Pompeian street, looking into various houses along the way . . . Besides being a scholarly landmark, Pompeiana provided a rich source for the decorative arts at a time when classical motifs were much in vogue" (J. Thompson, Queen Caroline and Sir William Gell: A Study in Royal Patronage and Classical Scholarship, pp. 58-59). . 850.…
