HOWITT, Samuel (c.1765-1822). A New Work of Animals: principally designed from the Fables of Aesop, Gay and Phaedrus, London: Edward Orme, 1811.
4° (291 x 230mm). (Text 248 x 171mm). 100 hand-coloured engraved plates. (Possibly lacks a few preliminaries, a few light spots and stains). Contemporary brown straight-grained morocco, gilt spine with a ram and a tiger tool in alternate compartments, wide gilt and blindstamped borders round sides (spine a little faded, extremities slightly rubbed).
FIRST EDITION of this unusual work which the Advertisement claims 'strange as it may appear, has never been done by any British artist. Mr. Howitt has preferred representing most of the animals in fables, as allowing more scope for delineating the expression, the character, and the passions...' Fifty-six of the plates are represented in fable form and the other forty-four in the more conventional manner. Nissen ZBI 2018.
