BRITISH ARMY – MANSION, Leon and Samuel L. ESCHAUZIER
Officers of the British Army. London: W. Spooner, [1833-1836.]
A rare set of ‘Spooner’s Upright Series’ depicting officers of the British Army. William Spooner was a prints publisher specializing in topical and/or humorous lithographs. These prints bear the full imprint at foot (which unusually name the colourist), are mostly dedicated to the Adjutant General of His Majesty’s Forces and are consecutively numbered from 1-60. Some of the lithographs survive individually, but sets such as this one, gathered by a contemporary collector and bound up to preserve their fresh colours, are rare. Bobins V, 1585; Colas 1967.

Folio (454 x 323mm). 60 lithographic plates, printed by Lefevre & Co. after Mansion and Eschauzier, hand-coloured by C.H. Martin and C. Bowen, original pale pink tissue guards (scattered spots and a little soiling, nearly all marginal, short marginal tear in pls. 1 and 8). Contemporary half morocco gilt, upper cover with green morocco gilt title-label, pale green coated endpapers, all edges gilt (rebacked, preserving original backstrip, neat repairs at corners). Provenance: R.M. Darnell, Darlington (contemporary bookplate) – [Christie’s, 12 May 1993, lot 118].
