The Annals of Sporting and Fancy Gazette; a Magazine containing Every Thing Worthy of Remark on Hunting, Shooting, Coursing, Racing, Cricket, Billiards, Rowing, Sailing. London: Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, 1822-1828.
78 original parts in 14 volumes. 8° (231 x 145mm). With engraved additional titles when called for, 156 engraved plates, of which 53 are hand-coloured, by Alken, Cruikshank, Roberts, Sutherland, Berenger, Landseer and others, woodcut illustrations. (Plate located at p.308 in vol.7 misbound in vol.8 p.66, occasional light marginal waterstaining, light spotting and browning.) Original printed wrappers, uncut (wrappers soiled or stained, a few hinges broken, edges frayed), vols. 1-13 preserved in a chemise in uniformly bound green morocco–backed slipcases, vol. 14 in a green morocco pull-off case (cases of vol. 1-13 lightly rubbed and a little bumped). Provenance: Robert Taylor (ownership inscription on front wrapper of a few parts) – M. (initial on back of some parts) – purchased from Levinson, New York, 1946.
A COMPLETE SET, INCLUDING THE RARE JUNE 1828 ISSUE. ‘Most sets that occur for sale finish … with May number … One more number was however issued, namely, for June, after which the enterprise was abandoned. This June number is extremely rare.’ (Tooley) . According to Schwerdt, 'This Magazine, published in the beginning of the 19th century, when hunting in this country was at its height -- ranks immediately after the Sporting Magazine and has the additional attraction of a number of coloured plates. The number for June, 1828, is of great rarity, so much so that in 1910 a copy changed hands in New York at $500'. Schwerdt I, pp.32-35; Tooley 64 (lacks the June 1828 issue).
