2021 Color Plate sml

This catalog contains six Ackerman's publications - including fine copies of The Microcosm of London, a large paper copy of The History of the Colleges and a very nice example of A History of the University of Cambridge.

The art of Henry Alken features heavily in this catalog with nearly forty items including a fine copy of his most famous and comprehensive work - the large folio of The National Sports of Great Britain with fifty fine hand colored aquatints covering the whole gamut of British Sports.

In addition there is a large paper copy of Vidal's Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, a rare George French Angas's Kaffirs Illustrated, a lovely copy of Dodwell's Greece and a super rare Rowlandson A Compendious Treatise on Modern Education (which I have not seen before in my fifty-three plus years in the trade).

There is a Large-Paper Copy of Sauvan's Picturesque Tour of the Seine from Paris to the Sea, a superb collection of twelve of the plates by John Frederick Herring Portraits of the Winning Horses of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, [and] Portraits of the Winning Horses of the Derby Stakes at Epsom.

There are also many books illustrated by the likes of George Cruikshank, Michael Egerton, James Gillray, Henry Heath, John Leech, Thomas Rowlandson and George Moutard Woodward.
