London, W. Spooner, [1833-1836].
William Spooner was a publisher of prints, specialising in topical and/or humorous lithographs. These prints bear the full imprint at foot (which unusually name the colourist) and 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.
Folio (45.4 x 32.3 cm); 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 spotting and a little soiling, nearly all marginal, short closed marginal tear in plates 1 and 8; contemporary half black 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.
Bobins V, 1585; Colas 1967.
