CRIMEAN WAR
The Officers' Portfolio of the Striking Reminiscences of the War, from Drawings, Photographs, and Notes, Taken on the Spot. [London]: Dickinson Brothers, [c. 1856].
An extremely rare complete suite of plates with vivid depictions of the Crimean War, including scenes from Sebastopol, Balaklava, Redan, the Battle of Tcheraya, and the Valley of Inkermann. Presumably printed in very small numbers; only one other auction record for a complete suite appears RBH. Not in Abbey, Tooley, or Blackmer; Bobins I, 186.
Folio (660 x 457mm). Letterpress title (481 x 330mm) and 23 lithographic plates finished in contemporary hand-colour and heightened with gum arabic, mounted on card, one plate (800 x 295mm) folded and mounted on card (crease at fold), contemporary manuscript captions on each mount, with A Panoramic View of the north side of Sebastopol from Eupatoria (Read & Co., 1855) loosely inserted (worn), (soiling and spotting on mounts, corner crease in one mount). Contemporary black half morocco portfolio, gilt pictorial design in centre of upper cover depicting a group of soldiers, titled 'Sebastopol' (upper cover somewhat marked, missing ties); modern brown linen box. Provenance: Fermor-Hesketh Library at Easton Neston (sold Sotheby’s, 15 Dec. 1999, lot 525).
