HORACE (65-8 B.C.) -- PINE, John, engraver (1690-1756). Opera. London: John Pine, 1733-1737.
2 volumes, 8° (224 x 136mm). Engraved throughout. (Lacking d1-2 of subscribers' list, spotting to I1v of vol. I and occasionally elsewhere, some light marginal soiling, marginal hole in Q1 of vol. II.) Gold-tooled blue morocco gilt by C. Kalthoeber with his ticket, single fillet and floral roll-tool border to covers, vase tool at inner corners, flat spine in compartments with red morocco lettering-piece, volume number, and repeated tool of a large urn, gilt turn-ins and pink endpapers, gilt edges (light indentation mark to front cover of vol. I). Provenance: early unidentified shelf mark -- Lord Stanley of Alderley (19th-century bookplate).
FINELY-BOUND COPY with Kalthoeber's gold-tooling still in bright, original condition. The second issue with 'potest' reading in vol. II, p. 108. M-Z of subscribers' list lacking. Pine's celebrated all-engraved work used illustrations copied from classical gems, painting and sculpture with great fidelity. The engraver was one of the group of independent-minded artists who congregated at Old Slaughter's Coffee House in St Martin's Lane in the 1730s, a petitioner for the important Engraving Copyright Act of 1735, and with Hogarth a governor of the Foundling Hospital from 1746. Brunet III, 320; Rothschild 1548. (2)
