23 volumes, 8° (approximately 191 x 120mm). Parts 3 to 12 and 14 to 16 each with two title pages, engraved frontispieces to parts 1 to 13, 201 engraved plates many folding including portraits, plans, maps, views, and an engraved table of the sea-level at Amsterdam, and 17 letterpress tables. (Vol. 1 apparently lacking map advertised on title page, vol. 3 with neat marginal repairs to Nn5, some spotting and browning to vols 6, 8, and 13, dampstaining affecting endpapers, titlepages, notice to reader, folding map and quire A of vol. 14, dampstaining to Yy6-8 Zz8 Aaa-Ccc8 of vol. 13). Near uniform contemporary speckled calf (vols. 1-12 and 23) or speckled half-calf (vols. 13-22), red morocco lettering-pieces numbered I to XXIII (extremities occasionally rubbed).
Like Het Verheerlykt Nederland of Kabinet van Hedendaagsche Gezigten (the previous lot) and his reissuing of the plates used in Abraham Rademaker's Kabinet van Nederlandsche en Kleefsche Outheden en Gezigten, De tegenwoordige staat der Verenigde Nederlanden was part of Tirion's grand scheme to record the Netherlands of his day. Produced between 1739-1772 it was originally conceived as a 12-volume work, but because of its success publication of additional volumes continued well after Tirion's death. The entire series of De tegenwoordige staat eventually comprised 45 volumes and covered much of the known world. For further information on Tirion see the note to the previous lot. Sold not subject to return. (23)
