Details
FRANKLAND, Robert (1784-1849)
Eight Representations of Shooting, Engraved by Woodman and Turner. Cambridge: 1813.
‘A scarce set of amusing shooting incidents. In draftsmanship and colouring they are superior to "Indispensable Accomplishments”' (Schwerdt). Fine copy of this scarce set, the plates showing shooting mishaps. OCLC locates just four copies in libraries and institutions worldwide: Art Institute of Chicago (IL, US); Harvard University Library (MA, US); Yale University Library (CT, US); Transylvania University (KY, US). This set was later re-issued c.1830 by S. Knights, Sweetings Alley, Royal Exchange. A plate from the re-issued set is in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Bobins IV, 1179; Schwerdt I, p. 186; Tooley 230.
Quarto, (218 x 296mm). 8 hand-coloured engraved plates by Woodman and Turner after Frankland (stab holes to margins of plates, faint marginal soiling, plate 8 dog-eared and small marginal tear, not affecting image). Original printed wrappers (possibly lacking rear wrapper, re-backed with modern cloth tape, extremities rubbed, some staining); four-flap enclosure of green cloth and leather spine lettered in gilt. Provenance: W. Ward Jackson Esq. (ink inscription to front wrapper).
