HEIDELOFF, Nikolaus Wilhelm von (1761-1837, publisher).
Gallery of Fashion. Vol. I-IX. London: N. Heideloff, 1794-1802 [April, 1794-March, 1803].
A fine hand-coloured set, unusually complete, containing the ‘notoriously rare’ volume IX (Abbey). Heideloff’s beautifully illustrated Gallery of Fashion represents the first major periodical in Britain dedicated to women’s fashion. Although some figure numbers and imprints are absent, the volumes are noticeably less cropped than other examples and retain more plate imprints than in the Abbey copy. Abbey, Life, 218; Bobins III, 862. Colas, 1170; Lipperheide Zb 10 (7 volumes only); Tooley 258.
9 volumes, bound in 2, quarto (230 x 285mm). 9 engraved volume titles, 12 monthly subtitles and 217 engraved plates, all in fine contemporary hand-colouring, depicting 362 costumes, each volume with ‘advertisement’ and ‘subscriber’ leaves (occasional very light spotting throughout both volumes and faint toning to some plates from the text). Contemporary tree calf with gilt borders formed of three roll tools, flat gilt spines ruled in six compartments, red and green gilt lettering pieces to second and fourth compartments, the others decorated with centrepieces comprised of urns with foliate and bird motifs, cornerpieces of small rosettes, the tools of the two volumes nearly matching but not quite uniform (expertly rebacked, preserving original spines, extremities lightly rubbed); contained in a modern morocco backed cloth box.
