EDWARD DODWELL (1767-1832)
Views in Greece, from drawings. London: Rodwell and Martin, 1 June 1819-1 February 1821. 2° (526 x 358mm). Title with aquatint vignette, 30 hand-colored aquatint plates by R. Havell, T. Fielding, F.C. Lewis and others after Dodwell and Pomardi, mounted on card with captions pasted to the verso, text in English and French on recto and verso of each leaf. (Some offsetting to verso of text, occasional light dust-soiling to margins.) Recent half morocco, spine gilt.
FIRST EDITION, THE RARE 'SPECIAL' FORMAT ISSUE, with the plates mounted on card in imitation of watercolour drawings. These magnificent plates were issued in six parts between 1819 and 1821, although the work was originally intended to consist of 60 plates, in twelve parts. They were chosen from hundreds of drawings made by Dodwell and his fellow artist, Pomardi, during their travels in Greece and the islands. In most cases, the engravers are credited with the coloring of the plates, Abbey noting that 'the plates which are engraved and coloured by Havell are outstanding'. Atabey 357; Abbey Travel, 130; cf. Blackmer 493; Colas 876.
